What makes The Feel Good Society different?

Add up our genuine desire to help our clients, and you get the gist of what we’re all about!
Many of us are on this continuous quest to feel good, only to be let down by previous healing methods. Or worse; having a glimmer of hope, only for it to collapse like a house of cards after the initial short-term success wears out. Well, not on our watch! We are all about understanding why your body is behaving the way it does, and finding a solution that’s based on your uniqueness.
Our formulas are created from an extensive range of practitioner-grade liquid herbal extracts, which we use to create your personalised high strength Daily Herbal Formula. We are all well studied in the art of medical herbalism here too and the herbs we choose have therapeutic evidence of clinical actions which means that they work!

Based on the answers you give during the questionnaire, we’ll have a look and match our herbal extracts with the areas that need restoring and balancing.

This detailed mapping process will eventually lead to a unique prescription that will tackle your concerns and boost your overall well-being.

These consultations are vital to gaining a deeper understanding of your body and what it needs to tap into its innate healing power.

Got visuals of Professor Snape teaching Potion class? Well, not to make you jealous, but it’s a lot like that (but make it herbalism).
What is a herbal monograph?
The so-called herbal monographs describe the herbs that are used in the herbal extracts. You’ll find the botanical name, family, and commonly used parts. Most importantly the monograph describes the clinical uses of each herb, the actions, and the cautions. A copy of these can be made available on request.
We see our whole process as a collaboration between us and you, so we think it’s super important that you know exactly what’s going on in your formula. This way you get to take control over your own health, feeling empowered with knowledge about herbal medicines and your own body.
What is the black substance in my tincture dropper?
It’s actually a sign of greatness! This is something we look for as a sign of potency upon extraction of specific herbs. The appearance of concentrated compounds on the tincture's dropper is a normal result of our small batch extraction and percolation process, especially when it comes to herbs like St. John’s Wort in the Mood Aid supporting daily dose, or Valerian Root in our Sleep Aid daily dose. This precipitation is a natural occurrence as it indicates the concentration of active compounds.
Do I need to refrigerate my products?
None of our products require refrigeration. But, think of them as powerful sleeping giants who prefer a nice cool cave - store them somewhere dark and away from direct heat and light.
What is the shelf life your products?
Turn your formula bottle upside down (make sure the cap is screwed on!) to find a manufacturing date (MFG) stamp. The rule of thumb is that each formula is good for two years after this date.

Why does The Feel Good Society prefer using fresh plant herbal extracts?
We believe that fresh plant liquid herbal extracts have an unrivalled vibrancy and will always opt for them when sourcing is available. Our seed to bottle approach means that the herbal extraction process happens within 24 hours of harvesting, capturing the active constituents in a super-potent concentrated liquid.
Why does The Feel Good Society prefer using organic herbal extracts?
Like true naturopaths, we are aware that there is no planet B. Therefore, we believe herb purity and ecological responsibility are equally part of the game. Fewer pesticides and heavy metals are a win on its own, but additionally, we believe organic production improves the medicinal quality of a herb.
The most potent herbs come from land that is cared for in an earth-centred way. Organic products are grown without chemicals which means there aren’t any trace chemicals in the herbs - one less thing for your already overloaded body to deal with!
Plants grown without pesticides are also naturally stronger and more resilient due to the competition in the soil matrix. Our herbs produce thousands of compounds and invest vast amounts of metabolic energy in order to survive and thrive. Which means that there are more survivin’ and thrivin’ elements distilled straight into your formula. In monoculture and sterile cultivation, the plants don’t have access to a wide variety of nutrients, so don’t use their energy creating these metabolically expensive compounds.
Essentially, our organic herbs are naturally more potent than their pesticide grown counterparts, ergo: you will become more potent and powerful when you ingest them!
What does the Liquid Herbal Medicine Tincture taste like?
Let’s not sugar-coating things – it’s not a Mary Poppins with a spoonful of sugar situation (but we can teach you how it can be - just ask anytime). We don’t use any artificial sweeteners or flavours, which means you’ll taste a natural flavour. We suggest mixing it with water or your favourite juice to water down the taste. But hey, no pain, no gain. Bottoms up!
What is “Your Formula & Details”?
“Your Formula” displays your current personalised herbal details, allows you to retake the wellness questionnaire, review your subscription status, view order history, and amend personal account information including updating your medication.
What is a Duty of Care question?
Naturopaths are all-round caring people, and it’s our duty and delight to take care of you based on accurate information. That includes information on your other medication. The Duty of Care question makes sure we are fully informed and equipped to serve you safely.
What are the directions of use?
To avoid you mistaking your Daily Herbal Formula for one of those cheeky champagne miniatures at a hotel minibar, we’ve lovingly place a convenient label to your bottle. It shows you what your formula contains, and how to take it. We usually recommend 15ml of the Daily Herbal Formula taken daily with food, either dropped straight into the mouth (say ahhhhhh) or in a little water or juice.
From what age do you prescribe your Liquid Herbal Medicine Tinctures?
We prescribe to those over the age of 16. Anyone under the age of 16 will not be able to receive a Daily Herbal Formula Subscription but will require an initial consultation.

We recognise that conventional pharmaceutical medicine is good at dealing with acute illness, injuries, and symptom control.
