Why Use 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, they can help to:

Improve gut health

Repair gut tissue, improve digestive function, reduce IBS symptoms and GI discomfort

Regulate the nervous system

Reduce anxiety, insomnia and stress response

Modulate immune function

Boost the immune system so it can do its job, while reducing hyper-sensitivity that causes things like allergies

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.
