The Practitioner Behind the Botanicals
Bridging 20 Years of Clinical Insight with Modern Herbal Excellence
The Journey from Clinic to Lab
For over two decades, Frank Griffo, L.Ac., has been at the forefront of integrative medicine. His journey didn’t begin in manufacturing; it began in the clinic.
As a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, Frank spent thousands of hours in clinical practice, working closely with his patients. He recognized early on that the success of treatment not only depended on the quality of the herbal formulas but also on a patient's confidence and willingness to take them. When he couldn’t find tinctures that met his rigorous standards for potency, purity, and ease of use, he began crafting his own.
"I spent 20 years in the clinic wishing for a tincture that worked this way—so I finally decided to build it myself. Griffo Botanicals is the result of every patient interaction and every clinical success I’ve had since I began my practice."
