Herbal Medicine
Traditional herbal medicines are naturally occurring, plant-derived substances with minimal or no processing that have been used to treat health conditions. Herbal medicine preparations can include: tinctures, glycerites, teas, and topical preparations. Humans have used herbs as food and as medicine for thousands and thousands of years; some even say it is the oldest form of medicine!
Currently, plants have contributed to the development of many of the pharmaceuticals we know today, and are a powerful form of medicine that can assist healing on many levels. Herbal medicine has a scope of use as wide as any form of medicine, as herbs may be used for any condition that is medically treatable. Herbal medicine has been shown to assist in healing a wide variety of conditions such as: skin conditions, digestive complaints, colds, the flu, respiratory problems, kidney problems, sleep issues, hormonal imbalances, and many, many more.
The use of herbal medicine is well established and widely acknowledged to be safe and effective, when used properly under Doctor supervision. Naturopathic doctors are the only primary care providers trained in botanical medicine.
