About Herbal Medicine
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Herbal medicines as herbal materials, herbal preparations and finished herbal products that contain as active ingredients parts of plants, or other plant materials, or combinations and are used to enhance well-being. While the use of herbs for healing may seem rare, people have used plants to support health for centuries in cultures around the world.
Many herbalists describe herbs as gentle therapies that help nudge your body towards wellness and support the body's intrinsic capacity to heal. In our culture, many people encounter health challenges such as sleep deprivation/insomnia, high stress load, decreased digestive function, or decreased immune function. These underlying imbalances result in a general lack of wellness and vitality and become road blocks on the journey to health and healing. For many, herbal therapies can be a wonderful way to restore balance in the body, improve sleep, decrease stress, and support healthy digestive and immune function. During your visits, we will discuss the various herbal therapies available and what will work best for you.
