BOTANICAL OR HERBAL MEDICINE
We very often use different plants or herbs in our practice. If applicable, we will choose the appropriate herb after studying your history. Plants have been used for thousands of years and they still work wonderfully. We are very well trained in the use of herbs and understand the risks that may occur with inappropriate use of toxic herbs. We are also aware and pay strict attention to any herbs that may negatively interact with drugs that patients are using.
There is a great deal of misinformation and fear generated, regarding the use of herbs, that is totally uncalled for.
Most of the concerns around the use of herbs and especially their interactions with drugs are based on hypothetical situations and have not been observed in actual practice. Even so, we are very careful to keep all the facts in mind and to advise you accordingly.
If you are working with a licensed Naturopathic Physician. you can rest assured that a problem should not occur. ( You may want to refer back to our credentials if you have any doubt).
