What is Herbal Medicine?
Herbs are not part of mainstream medicine’s standard toolkit in the U.S., and are unlikely to be part of your doctor’s recommendations for your condition. That’s a loss. While herbs won’t mend a ruptured appendix or broken foot, they excel at nudging the body back to health when we are faced with chronic conditions. And they do so without the side effects of many other medicines. In particular, herbal medicines can help to:
Improve gut health
Improve digestive function, reduce IBS symptoms and GI discomfort, soothe inflamed tissue
Regulate the nervous system
Reduce anxiety, insomnia and stress response
Modulate immune function
Boost immune function while reducing hyper-sensitivity
Anti- inflammatory
Reduce inflammation, which supports whole-body health
I am a trained Clinical Herbal Medicine practitoner. If your condition can benefit from herbal medicine, I will put together a plan for you that safely integrates with other medicines you may be taking.
