Botanical medicine involves the therapeutic use of plants to promote balance and incite healing. Plants have been used throughout history for their healing and nutritional properties and are the foundation for modern pharmacology. Combining the best of historical knowledge with modern research, we use botanical medicines to stimulate the innate ability of the body to heal itself and to provide support during the healing process. Herbs may be administered as teas, tinctures, salves, poltices, capsules, tablets, essential oils, infusions or decoctions. A single herb or a combination of several herbs may be prescribed depending on the needs of each individual.
