Herbal Medicine is an age old art of healing using plants and their therapeutic benefits. The remedies themselves form the base of many modern medicines today, where scientists have created either synthetic replicas of natural plant chemicals, or have taken the chemicals directly from the plant and combined them with other ingredients.
Being a holistic form of medicine means that we use the plant in its entirity, in the form of tinctures/ fluid extracts. An holistic therapist will treat the person as a whole, concentrating on the physical, as well as the eotional and spiritual well-being of the patient. While symptomatic relief is often important, it won't be addressed without some thought given to the cause of symptoms.
