Seven Forests

ITM developed the Seven Forests brand of herb formulas in 1986 for use in its clinical facilities and also for prescription by practitioners who follow similar treatment protocols. Depending upon the specific formulation and the nature of the individual herb ingredients, the Seven Forests herb tablets are prepared from powdered herbs or dried hot-water extracts, or a combination of the two. The herb materials, obtained from China, are compressed into tablets of 700, 750, or 800 mg each (this is mg of herbs; there are also small amounts of gum resin, cellulose, and stearate used to make the tablets). The tablets are bottled in units of 100 tablets; additionally, some formulas are available in bottles with 250 tablets and a few formulas with bottles of 420 tablets; the larger size bottles are provided for convenience and costs savings. ITM publishes a book, A Bag of Pearls, that provides important background information related to the Seven Forests formulas (and certain other formulas). All practitioners who prescribe Seven Forests formulas should possess and refer to the most recent version of this book.
