HERBAL AND BOTANICAL MEDICINE
Plants have been used medicinally for
thousands of years for their healing properties, and are the origins of
many pharmaceutical drugs.
Where single chemically-derived drugs may only address a single problem, botanical medicines are able to address a variety of problems simultaneously. Their organic nature makes botanicals compatible with the body's own chemistry; hence, they can be gently effective with few toxic side effects.
We use herbal medicines as tinctures, teas, and in capsules with many of our patients.
We recommend herbal products and herbal companies who use organic or sustainably wild crafted plants, and who refrain from using plants on the endangered species list.
