Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine is still the first choice in many
cultures, being successfully used for thousands of years. Every
culture has its own style of Herbalism, such as Indian Ayurvedic
Medicine and Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM). Herbalists prepare unique treatments,
after consultations with clients that will include discussions about
lifestyle, medical history and nutrition. Western Herbalists use
only whole plants or plant parts in their preparations but other
modalities such as TCM, can also include animal or mineral products.
Clients may be treated through the use of teas, capsules and tablets,
extracts and tinctures, essential oils (Aromatherapy) and various
other herbal preparations.
Herbs contain a large number of naturally occurring
chemicals that have biological activity and compounds from plants
that are used to produce reliable pharmaceutical drugs. Herbalism
does however support holistic treatment, with prevention of disease
being as important as the treatment of a particular illness. Another
benefit of choosing herbal medicines is that a profound transformation
in health can be achieved, without the danger of the inherent side
effects common in drug-based medication.
