Botanical Medicine

Herbs have been used medicinally for many centuries by healers including Hippocrates and Galen, Chinese practitioners, Ayurveda practitioners and even our mothers and grandmothers.

Nature provides us herbs as the perfect mix of constituents to use to help treat illnesses and maintain health. Botanicals may be processed in various ways, including drying, alcohol extraction, cooking, and desiccating. Which form (tea, tincture, capsule, or solid extract) an herb is used in is individual to patient's needs; often they are used in combination with other herbs. They are not chemically altered as many pharmaceutical drugs are. Botanical Medicine can be, and often is called Herbal Medicine.
