The Role of the Herbal Practitioner
As an herbalist, my role is primarily an educational one. I help to provide you with the information and tools necessary in achieving your own goals for health and well being. I neither diagnose nor directly treat or cure disease. Rather, I focus on educating you, the client, on how to best enhance your body's own innate healing capacity. My intention is to help you achieve the highest state of health consistent with your own goals. Herbal medicine is in essence adaptive and is based on the belief that the human body is a marvelous system that is innately self-healing and that properly crafted herbal formulas assist and encourage the body in its effort to a balanced state. Every person is physiologically, emotionally and energetically unique. I will consider your individual constitution and nature and recommend the most appropriate herbal formulas specifically for you.
