Herbal Medicine

The use of botanical substances for medicinal purposes is one the the oldest forms of medicine in the world. About 25% of present day pharmaceuticals have active ingredients that were first found in nature and then later duplicated in a lab. You may be familiar with using peppermint for a headache or ginger for nausea/digestion but this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using plants as medicine.

Herbal medicine is a safe and effective alternative to pharmaceutical drugs or can be used in conjunction with certain pharmaceuticals to reduce side effects or enhance therapeutic benefits. With herbal medicine, we are able to do more than just treat a symptom but to also work on the root cause. An evaluation is completed in order to create a custom herbal formula based on your unique health picture. Herbs are typically taken as either capsules/tablets, tinctures, or powdered.

Safety

Herbal medicine is extremely safe when prescribed properly under the guidance of a trained herbalist. We only recommend herbs of the highest quality from reputable manufacturers who follow GMP Guidelines and thoroughly test their products for unwanted contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticides. This ensures safety, purity, and potency.
