Herbal Medicine
Botanical medicine is plant based
medicine that helps one to recover from illness, or support the normal
functions of your body. Naturopathic physicians prescribe botanical medicines
in many different forms: teas, tinctures (alcohol extracts), solid extracts,
salves (creams), tablets, capsules, and poultices. The amount of research
supporting many botanical medicines is growing, and the majority of plants used
at Nature Med have been proven 
safe and effective. - Just because it’s natural, doesn’t mean it’s safe: Botanical medicines can be very effective when used properly, however, they can be toxic when used incorrectly. Naturopathic Doctors have extensive training in both botanical and conventional pharmacology, a solid understanding of herb-drug interactions, dosing, potential side-effects, and compounding formulations. Your ND has the training to use botanical medicines safely and effectively.
