Herbal treatment

Diet, food, nutrition, vitamins, minerals, glandulars and plants are all used either on the body (topically) or in the body (ingested) as a part of herbal medicine.

Traditional Chinese herbal medicine draws on ancient practices — herbal medicine is as old as humanity itself. Early man’s survival was depended on their knowledge of their environment. Direct experience taught them which plants were toxic, which ones imparted strength and sustained life, and which had special healing qualities.  Many of our current prescription medications were derived from herbs and plants.

Herbs are concentrated foods taken from nature and compounded in such a way to help the body heal itself. Today’s herbalist adjusts traditional formulas based on new knowledge, taking the best from both worlds.  Knowledge and use of current vitamins and supplements is part of the persons healing program.
