Botanical medicine involves the use of specially formulated plant extracts in the form of extracts, capsules, salves and decoctions that can be taken internally or applied externally. Botanical medicine has a long standing tradition, with the first written use described over 5000 years ago. The National Institute of Health estimates that 1 in 5 people use botanical therapies today.
Naturopathic doctors are highly trained in this traditional medicine and use phytonutrients to treat maladies such as digestive disorders, hormone imbalances, chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, insomnia, depression, common cold and flu, allergies, and skin disorders.
Quality control is important when using these natural therapies. Your naturopath will take a thorough health history and prescribe specific plant compounds that are considered pharmaceutical grade to ensure effective treatment.
