Herbal Medicine |
| Herbalism is used in Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Western medicine to aid in the healing process. The cause of an illness is the main basis for diagnosis instead of just treating and relieving symptoms. Herbs are said to remove toxins from the body and promote healing in order to return the body to a balanced state of health. They are prescribed according to which body system is affected or requires stimulation to fight disease. Herbs can be used in many different forms including pills, powders, extracts, ointments, tinctures, and teas. Caution should always be used with herbs as reactions can vary, many have side effects, and some can be toxic when used in excess. Please read Herbal Side Effects/Warnings for your safety. |
