Sagescript Institute was started by Dr. Cindy Jones to meet the demand from consumers and health care professionals for information on how herbal and botanical compounds interact with human chemistry and physiology. So this site is for those who want more than just the traditional approach to herbalism.

Dr. Jones has written and edited numerous herbal monographs, books, and articles based on the scientific and medical literature on botanicals. Eventually this information eventually grew to include the use of herbs in botanical products that are hand made in small batches at Sagescript Institute. These products integrate knowledge of traditional uses of botanicals with knowledge from modern scientific research. This fusion brings about the basis for our products and services and assures you of safe and functional products.

I want you to experience the health benefits that come from using botanicals both internally and externally.  These benefits are not only for your personal health but also, I believe, the health of our planet. Using botanicals encourages the use of renewable sources, sustainable agriculture and small farms.  Make your life and the world better with herbs! We hope you enjoy this website.

Herbs are earth friendly, accessible, and inexpensive. They can be used in many ways to promote health and prevent disease. Many people fear the use of herbs because of scams, inaccuracies and even quackery that can be found in the alternative medicine industry. However, there is not only a historical basis for botanical medicines, but a substantial amount of medical literature that supports the use of many herbs.

I have been writing about the evidence-based use of herbs for several years. Many of my articles can be found in magazines such as "Herbs for Health". You can read some of my articles by clicking here. I continue to educate interested parties (physicians, nurses, nutritionists, businesses, herbalists and patients) on the use of these herbs and the medical literature that supports their use.
