What we offer you how the whole herb heals better than the synthetic extracts.

Problem ABOCA is the leader in the field of herbal medicines in Italy. Already setting the standard in the quality of its herbal production, marked by the organic certification and a number of patents on methods, the next step is to set a new standard of medicinal efficacy for herbal products. In particular the aim is to develop a quality assurance in herbal standards and proof of use, which people can look to as a reference point for assessing the advisability of seeking cure through herbal remedies.

Solution The ABOCA-led study on the metabolomic fingerprinting of the constituents of herbs uses clustering computing software to identify the herbs in their windows of relational efficacy. Signifine is helping analyze these results, as well as provide a basis in complexity theory of the deeper significance. It is also helping design with Bristol University experiments comparing the efficacy of St John's Wort against the equivalent action of the drug at the genetic level.

Consequence The herbalist will spend lifetimes exploring the healing properties and characteristics of each herb, to the total bewilderment of the scientist, who has calibrated, catalogued and categorised all the compound extracts long ago beyond dispute. Signifine welcomes the opportunity to create a unique platform on which herbal wisdom can join with scientific diligence to uncover the significant contribution holism could make to western medicine. .
