F.A.Q.
What is Western Herbalism?
What is Holistic Health?
How do they work?
What are they used for?
Western Herbalism is a whole system of healthcare practiced today in North America, Europe and Australasia. Western Herbalism draws from Greek, Arabic and Native American traditions as well as modern sciences.
A person-centered approach to health which views the individual as a whole, not just the sum of their parts. In other words, we believe that you are much more than just a disgnosis.
Herbs and nutrition can alter the body's 'biological terrain'. This can influence cellular processes and organ systems to shift toward more optimal functioning.
Herbs and nutrition have been used for centuries in every culture in the world, and are still used by 80% of the world's population. Health practitioners may suggest herbs and diet changes to increase health in the presence of pain, sleep and weight disturbances, reproductive and hormonal issues and much more.
