Herbal FAQs

Do herbal products work?
Yes. Herbal products have been effective in treating health-related conditions for centuries. In fact, many Asian communities still use herbal products as their main source of medicine. We at Tripod Labs took some of these known herbal ingredients and combined them with traditional medicines to maximize their powers.

Why did Tripod Labs combine traditional medicine with botanical extracts?
By combining botanical extracts with traditional medicines, we have been able to develop a new product that is better than either one when used alone. Many have tried with little success to use either botanical or traditional remedies alone, but in combining the two we have had great success in creating a new line of safe, effective products.

Are herbal products safe?
Yes. Traditional Eastern medicine uses herbal remedies with great success. Before our products became available to the public, they were tested and have been proven to be safe.

Is it true that Tea Tree Oil, Garlic, Oregano and Sunflower Seed Oil help treat fungus?
Yes. These herbs have been successfully treating fungus for hundreds of years. Tripod Labs has used these herbs and several others like Wild Marjoram, Lavender and Tannic Acid in its fungus, nail and skincare products.
