The m-folia herbal extract contains the alkaloids and anti-inflammatory agents, whereas homoeopathic tablets work on a different level. Homeopathic-type tablets are particularly suitable if:

• you have acute symptoms
• you have chronic symptoms 
• you are taking any other medications
• you are suffering from any other medical conditions

m-folia™  tablets may be taken alongside any other medications, but the herbal extract should NOT be taken if you are taking any other medications. Neither m-folia™ extract or tablets should be taken once symptoms have subsided.

Both the cream and the ointment contain the same strength of Mahonia aquifolium.

Ointment tends to penetrate more than the cream and creates a protective ‘film’ over the skin. However, it does tend to be a little greasy, causing a shiny appearance on the skin, and may rub off on clothing. 

The cream, on the other hand, is less greasy and more quickly absorbed into the skin. For these reasons, we recommend that cream be used in the daytime and the ointment at night.

m-folia™ body lotion is not as potent as cream or ointment, but is an ideal complement topical application where large areas are affected. It also acts as a preventative treatment to help keep the skin clear.

Conditioning cream rinse was formulated after we received a number of reports from customers who found their traditional hair conditioner irritated their scalp.

It is not uncommon for people to experience an initial adverse reaction.This is usually part of the healing process and is more common if you have been using steroidal (cortisone-based) products in the recent past. In this situation:

• the scales/flakes of the skin will seem to be coming off more than usual.
• the lesions will appear redder and larger and will feel like the skin is dehydrating.
• this is a normal reaction for some people, it is a cleansing reaction to the steroids. The M-Folia 30c tablets will help to minimise the cleansing process.

If you experience a severe reaction or a reaction that persists for more than a week, cease use immediately and consult your doctor.
