Are Harmonic Health products guaranteed?

Yes! Each order comes with a 90-day 100% satisfaction guarantee. You can contact us and request a full refund without sending back your opened bottles.

IMPORTANT: We reserve the right to ask for returns on orders that contain two or more of the same item. Limited to one refund per household.

Where is it made?

All Harmonic Health products are formulated and manufactured in South Africa by a reputable Phytotherapist.

Why are the batches sometimes different colours

The different batches are made from the same herbs but it all depends on a few factors  / when they were picked /what time of the year and even grown in different parts of the world at different times depending on demand. So no two batches can be exactly the same but all made exactly the same way.

Can Harmonic Health Products cause interactions with medications such as blood thinners?

You should always discuss medication interactions with your health care provider. If you are on chronic medications, we recommend to start at half the dose for the first 2 weeks and then increase to a full dose. The herbs in our Uric Acid, Sleep Support & Sinus & Allergy have the same effect on medication as a few pieces of broccoli for lunch. You would have to double the dose to affect blood thinners. With over 1 million bottles sold worldwide, we have not had a single interaction complaint, but ultimately you should ask your health care practitioner and err on the side of caution when it comes to your health.

Are you going to auto-bill my credit card or auto-ship every month?

NO! We know you will love it and come back and order more on your own, so we do not auto-bill or auto-ship unless you specifically ask us to do so.

Uric Acid Support Frequently Asked Questions

Who should be taking this?

Anyone living with joint, muscle or nerve discomfort should definitely be taking it, but honestly anyone concerned about their general health should be taking it to support healthy uric acid levels.

What is Uric Acid?

Almost all joint issues are usually caused by uric acid. When uric acid levels rise, needle-like crystals form in the joints and grind away the cartilage with every movement. 

What causes Uric Acid

Uric Acid build up is an after effect of your body processing purines which are found in alcohol, sugar, bread, fast foods and processed foods. If your body produces too much uric acid it will pile up in the blood and will in time settle in your joints and soft tissue as needle like crystals, often resulting in gout, arthritis and many other joint related conditions. Extreme amounts of uric acid levels have also been associated with kidney stones, cholesterol, stage 2 diabetes, blood pressure, immunity disorders and most illnesses known to man.

How does it work?

The unique blend of herbs within each Uric Acid Support bottle was selected for the historical use of helping the body to stabilize acidity, break down and dissolve uric acid crystals in the joints, assist the kidneys with eliminating acid from the body and ease discomfort.

What are the directions for use?

Mix 15 drops of Uric Acid Support (about 1/2 teaspoon) with water, stir and drink. You can do this up to 3 times per day, depending on your discomfort level. If you only take one dose per day, it should be in the evening before bed. It can be taken with or without food, but for best results, take it one hour before a meal.

How long does it take to work?

It varies from person to person and the severity of the condition, some people it takes literally a few days and others 4 to 6 weeks before they start feeling the benefits. It really depends on the severity of the condition and the amount of uric acid crystals in the body.

Is Uric Acid Support vegan-friendly?

Yes! Uric Acid Support contains just 7 all-natural botanical ingredients. Celery seed, Nettle, Birch, Willow, Alfalfa, Devil's Claw and Boswellia.

Side Effects:

Symptoms getting worse advised by our Phytotherapist: Sometimes the symptoms of the condition will get worse before getting better. The reason for this being is that sometimes the uric acid crystals in the joints begin dissolving causing the pain and discomfort to increase and can even move to different parts of the joints for eg. hands and feet to knees and elbows. This is a sign that the product is working. If you have not used the product for at least 6 weeks please continue. 

In Severe cases where symptoms get worse advised by our Phytotherapist: When there is so much acid being released from the joints and the muscles, the kidneys are not always able to cope. Conditions that may make it worse are poor circulation, high blood pressure, taking a diuretic and not drinking enough water. The product is simply doing what it was made to do and that is to dissolve the acid crystals in the joints and muscles. But when there is an excessive amount being released it can be very painful. Unfortunately not everybody responds so quickly to taking the product and most people take a few days to begin dissolving the acid crystals. 

Headache advised by our Phytotherapist: One of the known side effects is a headache. This is caused by high uric acid in the blood taken out from the joints. We advise you stop taking for 24hrs then start on 1/2 dose and increase after a week. This is a sign that the product is working.

Dizziness advised by our Phytotherapist: If you experience dizziness whilst taking the product we advise that you lower the dosage. It can be because it puts a strain on the kidneys to flush out the uric acid meaning one can become dehydrated easily. Drink lots of water to keep the blood pressure normal and take the pressure off the kidneys. 

Please be advised we cannot give medical advice, we always recommend you consult your Doctor or Health Care Practitioner for medical related enquiries.

Calcification Build Up & Uric Acid advised by our Phytotherapist:

Calcification build up is due to the fact that the body is too acidic. The bones release calcium in order to neutralise the acid – that’s what calcium does – and then this calcium gets dumped somewhere in the body. Make sure firstly that you are using a well absorbed calcium supplement otherwise this will also get dumped. Take the Uric acid support to keep the body alkaline and slowly dissolve the build-up. Drink lots of water and watch your diet! 

Kidney Disease advised by our Phytotherapist:

Often with kidney disease patients are advised to limit the amount of water they drink. This causes a problem because without water the body cannot eliminate the acid and the acid becomes concentrated in the body. The blood also becomes thick and circulation is impaired. When drinking Uric Acid Support the kidneys are trying their best to remove all the acid from the body but without sufficient water the acid becomes concentrated in the kidneys and causes pain. We would advise drinking small amounts of water regularly throughout the day.

Foods to avoid:

Foods high in purines: Uric acid is found in large amounts in foods high in purine. Meat products such as liver, kidneys, heart and other internal organs of animals. These food types should be avoided to keep your uric acid levels low.

Alcohol: Alcohol consumption should be limited as it interferes with the flushing out of uric acid. Limit your servings to 1 or 2 glasses (5oz per glass) of wine a day. Beer especially has been linked to gout attacks.

Sea Salt: Increases the uric acid level, keep to the minimum. Alternate with iodised salt, sea salt is not needed to be ingested frequently. Check ingredients in foods like nuts that they don’t contain sea salt. Regular salt contains iodine which is an essential mineral for the body. 

Sugar: There is no scientific study to prove that sugar increases uric acid but it definitely is the culprit for many people that are overweight and/or suffering from chronic illnesses.

Also avoid foods high in fructose or purines.

Foods that are safe to include in your Diet:

Plant-based proteins ie. legumes and beans. Low fat or fat free dairy products. Wholegrains, fruits and vegetables and less refined carbohydrates ie.white bread, sweets, cake etc.

Foods high in purine that are safe: Vegetables such as beans, asparagus, cauliflower, peas, mushrooms. Wholegrain breads and whole grain cereals. Chicken, duck, ham and turkey.

If you don't get a good night sleep immediately

Sleep Support has the opposite effect on the odd person advised by our Phythotherapist: The odd person does have the opposite reaction to the herb valerian in the sleep support. Valium and Calmettes is a derivative of valerian and has a similar effect on some people. Nobody Knows until they try. And unfortunately there are some people who need more than just a natural sedative due  to a chemical imbalance, trauma, sleeping tablet addiction, other medications, diet…. Just ask a few questions about their health if you need to.

It varies so much from one person to the next.

Generally about 3 doses and you should feel relief. If not and you are desperately needing quick relief then you can increase the dose to 30 drops 6 x daily for 2 days just to give quick relief. 

Please be advised we cannot give medical advice, we always recommend you consult your Doctor or Health Care Practitioner for medical related enquiries.

If you are not getting relief using Sinus & Allergy advised by our Phytotherapist

Sometimes it’s a good idea to take a few really large doses in one day…..1 tsp in water 5 times daily just to lower the histamine levels quickly. Good extra supplements to take are quercetin and bromelain (available from a health shop) to also help reduce histamine. Avoid foods that trigger the release of histamine – dried fruit with sulphur dioxide, fruit juices, bubbly drinks, sugar, coffee. All this will help to reduce allergic reactions. Spraying the nasal passages with colloidal silver is very effective as well.

Side Effects:

Symptoms getting worse: With the natural antihistamine effect this formula has,  it will move the mucus out of the lungs, and draws any excess mucus out of the body.  The body will naturally begin to expel excess mucus.  Not everyone will have a bad reaction to the Sinus & Allergy Formula, but some people, especially if they have a lot of histamine stored in their body, might have. The Sinus & Allergy helps the body eliminate the histamine from the body. Therefore so symptoms can worsen before it gets better. 

We would recommend the following : Lower the dosage to make the histamine / excess mucus come out slower. For the time while the symptoms are bad you  can get something called Quercetin, which also naturally help remove histamine and inflammation from the body.  Drink lots of water and if you have fresh thyme in your garden you can make tea from the thyme leaves. (Put leaves in boiling water on the stove and let it boil for about 10 mins, let it cool down a bit and drink.)  You will feel immediate relief as this also lower the histamine levels in your body.

A reaction means the body is trying it’s best to eliminate the histamine and inflammation from the body.  When symptoms escalate it means the body is responding to the medication. So you can lower the dosage to respond slower, or you can add the Thyme and Quercetin to see you through the worst of the symptoms.  Avoid fruit juices, coffee, anything that can up histamine levels, anything that contains sodium benzoate (Such as fizzy drinks, pickles Kool-Aid, etc)  anything that ups the uric acid levels should be avoided as this will increase the inflammation and mucus production in the body.
