First, Do No Harm! Patient safety is the top priority. Herbalists provide guidance on the proper use and dosage of remedies, carefully considering any potential interactions with conventional medications the person may be taking.
No one-size-fits-all approach – treatment is tailored to a person’s needs, constitution, and health conditions.
Let the food be thy medicine and the medicine be thy food' (Hippocrates) – only then can a remedy (treatment) reach its full effectiveness.
We don’t suppress the symptoms, we address the root causes of the imbalances while providing relief from symptoms.
Health is viewed holistically as an interdependent interaction of body-mind-soul-environment.
Prevention is the best cure!
Plants are considered to have dynamic actions like warming, cooling, nourishing, stimulating, relaxing, etc. Traditional practices understand how to match these energies with the needs of the individual. This resonance between plant and person can facilitate deep healing on multiple levels.
The healing power of plants has been harnessed since the earliest days of humanity. Herbal medicine represents an ancient symbiosis between our species and the botanical world.
