Herbal vs. Pharmaceutical: It’s Not Either/Or
There’s a place for both systems of medicine. Pharmaceuticals can be life-saving in acute or emergency situations. Herbal medicine shines in chronic, complex, and constitutional conditions—where suppression hasn’t worked, or side effects have become a burden.
In my clinic, I often work with people who:
Have been told their symptoms are “in their head”
Are managing chronic fatigue, gut issues, hormone imbalances or skin flare-ups
Want to come off long-term medications gently and safely
Are looking for a natural approach that sees and supports the whole of them
🌿 The Herbalist’s Role
As a medical herbalist, I don’t just match herbs to symptoms. I assess your constitution, emotional terrain, digestion, elimination, and energetic patterns—using tools like iridology, tongue diagnosis, and deep listening.
From there, I create a bespoke herbal formula to support your healing—layer by layer, with plant allies that work in partnership with your body, not against it.
