The Herbalist Approach
Medical Herbalists and Naturopaths are trained in the same diagnostic skills as orthodox medicine, particularly focusing on "chronic diseases processes" and health prevention screening techniques and protocols.
The underlying cause of the client's
condition is sought. Once it is identified, it becomes the focus of
attention and treatment. Orthodox drugs often cause a suppression
of symptoms which can mask and allow continuation of the underlying
disease process.
The Herbalist uses remedies to aid a restoration process within the body thus allowing restoration of the individual's health balance. We will work with our clients to assist them in their journey towards total health. The client must be self-motivated and ready to work together with us in adjustments necessary in his/her life to achieve a permanent and sustainable health state.
In order to achieve optimal health the entire person
must be considered; body, mind, emotions and spirituality. Herbal
medicines can then help facilitate the body's natural healing
processes to promote wellness and vitality. Many of us live
for years at a basal health state not realizing their full
health potential. Yes you can live well into your senior
years without developing the numerous illnesses that often
accompany advancing age. Understanding how your body works
and knowledge is often the key
Most visits with an Herbalist are often OTC or Over the Counter, for simple problems with simple remedies. However, if it is necessary for a more thorough investigation, a full consult will be recommended.
