Herbal Medicine is an ancient healing practice based on the belief that the human body is innately self-healing - and that properly prescribed herbal formulas, healthy, wholesome food, and lifestyle shifts can assist the body in its efforts to return to a healthy state.

Herbs help to maintain and restore the healthy structure and function of the body and mind.  Herbalism focuses on wellness rather than fighting disease.  The intent is to find the cause of the underlying imbalance and then take steps to bring the mind and body back into balance, health, and vitality. 

Well-trained herbalists can guide wiser choices and help ensure that herbs used are safe, consistent in quality, and used in appropriate amounts.  The greatest benefit is that you receive a blend of herbs specifically formulated for your individual needs and constitution. 

Is Herbal Medicine for you?

Herbalists, following ancient traditions, address modern concerns, often backed by scientific literature.  Herbs are carefully chosen based on the individual's needs. 

An herbal consultation may serve you if:
  • You have any chronic symptoms or illnesses, whether physical, mental, or emotional.
  • You have any acute illnesses
  • You wish to fall sick less often and recover more quickly.
  • Your daily activities seem to place great demands on your vitality and well-being.
  • You wish to prevent disease development and maintain your personal peak of vitality and stamina.
  • You can imagine being healthier and are committed to improving the quality of your life.

Overall, herbs can be effective in supporting the healthy structure and function of the digestive tract and the respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, immune, gynecological, nervous, skin, and endocrine systems.  Herbal Medicine is also an effective strategy in managing a healthy stress response. 

Some specific health issues where herbal medicine may prove beneficial include anxiety, depression, insomnia, PMS, menopause, perimenopause, healthy weight management, various digestive complaints, food intolerance/allergy, inflammation, osteoarthritis, rhematoid arthritis, and much more.
