Botanical medicine has been the main system of healing in cultures throughout the world for thousands of years. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has been referred to as the medicine of the people because it is so effective and accessible.
Most people are now familiar with taking herbal supplements in pill form, but you can also take herbs in a tincture or drink as a tea. They can be ingested or used topically and have been proven to treat a variety of illnesses.
Herbs are used in a variety of ways. They are used to nourish our bodies, providing us with minerals and vitamins on a deep cellular level; they can be used to tonify our systems, helping specific organs and body functions; and they can be used as strong medicine to heal both acute and chronic conditions.
As an herbalist, I believe that it is important to treat the person, not the condition. In treating the person, the imbalance can be discovered and corrected. By only treating the disease, the symptoms will recur or other problems will manifest because the root has not been eliminated.
A session may include:
- Herbal Remedies from Western, Chinese, and Ayurvedic Traditions of healing.
- Recommendations Based on Physical and/or Emotional Issues
- Nutritional Suggestions
- Lifestyle Support

**Allopathic medicine and herbalism are often seen as the antithesis of one another but in actuality they are compatible and work effectively together. It is always best to consult with a trained practitioner on the use of herbal medicine.
