Sentences with phrase «lack of active ingredients»

Not exact matches

One of the key points we made involves the difference between marketing, say, a homeopathic «remedy,» which is utterly incapable of having any biological effect because it literally lacks any active ingredient, and marketing herbal products — a category of substances which can in some cases be quite potent, but which can be highly variable in content, concentration, and labelling, not to mention the extent to which their effects and side effects have been verified.

Herbal teas are generally more concentrated than the natural herb, and it's possible to get more than you realize because the lack of regulation means the amount of active ingredients can vary between products.

The real - life application of their use is still problematic, however, as many of the most potent essential oils will irritate skin and mucous membranes, not get to the site of infection, lack standardized active ingredients (which can vary from batch to batch of oil) or not spread as needed on a skin or in the body.
