Botanical medicine has been used by our ancestors, for at least as far back as 60,000 years. Botanical medicine, also known as herbal medicine, uses various parts of the plants including roots, barks, leaves, seeds, and flower petals to treat health concerns and promote the body’s ability to heal itself.
The plant kingdom has incredible biodiversity and the medicines that come from plants are just as diverse. Many plants contain substances that act on receptors in our brains and bodies, and many pharmaceutical drugs were originally derived from plant constituents.
Modern herbalism uses evidence-based science along with this traditional knowledge to provide safe and effective treatments that work with your body in a holistic way, treating the root cause of illness to help you heal.
I use a combination of commercially prepared and individually formulated herbal extracts as remedies to support and nourish your body and its unique needs.
Every person is different – from their personal health history to their family history, to their lifestyle, to the many variables in-between. Alone or in combination with other naturopathic treatments, botanical medicine can be a safe, appropriate, and effective choice for addressing numerous health concerns ranging from anxiety, depression, gastrointestinal discomfort, menopause, hormonal imbalance, skin conditions, infertility and menstrual irregularities as some examples.
Despite how ancient it is, botanical medicine is an evolving and expanding field of study as we find out more about various health conditions.
