What People Are Saying

I've been a fan of Christara Phytoceuticals for years! Out of all of the natural and herbal supplements out there, these are by far my favorite. I love how potent they are and I feel such a difference when I take them, especially the B and C-Complex– which have been a part of my health regimen for many years. I also love the incredibly pure ingredients, I have yet to find another herbal extract company that uses SPRING WATER as its water source. These are truly amazing products and my husband and I are so grateful for them!

Leah Salinas

These formulations have been so effective for me, and I love that they are food based so my body knows how to use it. Thank you for your integrity in the formulation as well as the purity.

Alice Muradyan

I have been benefiting from Christara phytoceuticals for going on 12 years. My husband and children have been taking them as well, and I was even able to take them during my pregnancy. They have been a big part of our daily health and wellness regimen. Along with a nutrient dense and alkaline diet, we know that these vitamins and minerals are why our family has maintained excellent health throughout the years. We are so grateful for the love and care that goes into the formulation and will continue to make it a part of our lives.

Dr. Christara Avaness and her Herbal Formulas and Supplements are truly a blessing. These are the best herbs I’ve ever used, both quality and vibration wise. I have recommended most, if not all of them, to my patients over the years with great results. Love and Light to You Dr. Avaness

Fenya HacobianPractitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Dr. Christara Avaness radiates her crystal clear pure light with her touch, expertise, kindness, wisdom and her herbs. I have been using her herbs ever since she started formulating them. As a holistic health coach, CCH. I have tried many good brands but since I discovered Christara Phytoceuticals it is by far the best herb, pure, all natural with the highest bioavailability. I have recommended them to all my clients, family and friends. The amazing thing about Dr. Christara is that she is always improving her formulas from what it is already - perfect - to superb.... Good Luck to you Dr. Christara and God Bless.

Isabel SivadjianHolistic Health Coach

Dr. Christara has a gift. She treats her patients not only with traditional medical protocol but also with an added, VERY important, element: bio-individuality and true caring from the heart! She has prescribed a couple of liquid remedies that have made me feel better, safer, and protected. Her IMMUNE COMPLEX sits by the side of my bed and I take it twice a day to improve my system during these troubling times of COVID-19. Thank you Doctor Christara!!

Alma Rosa NietoIntegrative Nutrition Health Coach, Attorney

“Dr. (Christara) Avaness has been my trusted lifestyle medicine specialist. There is a place for both western and eastern influenced medicine and Dr. Avaness incorporates both! Her treatment is uniquely customized - it's not a “one size fits all.” She treats the cause, not the symptom, to achieve whole body wellness. She has not only helped me with my upper GI, she has helped my husband recover from residual effects due to his spine surgery. Her amazing Phytoceuticals are not only safe, they are effective, and your body will love you for it!! Thank you Christara!!”

Judith Famiglietti

Dr. Christara Avaness is such a wonderfully gifted doctor. There is something truly special about her that I cannot explain. You have to experience it yourself. She helped my husband when he had cancer, and she helped my daughter when she had breathing issues. Her herbal supplements are of the highest quality. As part of our health regimen, we take her B Complex and C regularly and love them. Highly recommended.

Jodi Harrison LeeAuthor of “Find your Strength”

Dr. Christara treats you with such kindness and care and being in her presence is healing. Christara makes pure high quality products! She makes them herself and has a real feel for the plants and herbs. I was very impressed when I first saw her and experienced her level of sensitivity and clarity. She is very sensitive to what your body actually needs and down to earth. She will test you and see what is compatible with your system. I highly recommend her and all of her products. She studied with shamans in the Amazon and has a unique background growing up with her mother, a Reiki healer and author of " Living Beyond Organic". She carries on this knowledge through her touch and throughout her entire system. She is truly a gift to this world. I am honored to know her!
