What To Expect With Herbal Medicine
What To Expect
Works Naturally With Your Body Without Side Effects
Herbal medicines work naturally to restore internal organ balance and integrity. In contrast, many pharmaceutical medications shut down and suppress bodily processes and often cause undesired side effects (and driving illness deeper). We utilize herbal medicines in many different formats such as tinctures, tablets, capsules, granules, and liquid preparations.

Common Questions About Herbal Medicine
Are Herbal Medicines Safe?
Yes. We selectively utilize herbal medicines and nutritional supplements from companies with very high standards such as Ortho Molecular Products, Standard Process, Evergreen and Sun Ten. Our herbal medicines and nutritional supplements are extensively tested to be free from contaminants and heavy metals. Before prescribing any herbal therapeutic, we assess for potential herb-drug interactions (with any medications you may be already taking). Side effects from herbal medicines are rare.
Do Herbal Medicines Work?
Yes. Herbal medicines have been used to effectively treat a diversity of health concerns for thousands of years; modern applications of traditional herbal therapeutics integrate enhanced safety, selectivity and cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Processes).
What Forms May I Take Herbal Medicines In?
While traditional herbal therapeutics are prepared from raw herbs, we find that most people simply do not have the time or desire to prepare herbal therapeutics themselves. Therefore, we most commonly prescribe herbal therapeutics in convenient tincture, liquid, tablet, capsule or granular form.
