How Herbal Medicine Can Help You Feel Great!

Written by: Renee Eldred & Cindi Young Naturopath

Herbal medicines use the medicinal and therapeutic aspects of plants to support your health. These work by stimulating your bodies innate healing abilities. Herbal medicines are formulated using a holistic approach that treats the whole person. The great news is, there is so much evidence based research to back the therapeutic benefits of herbal medicines.

While herbal medicines can be prescribed for the treatment of disease or illness, they are also useful in the prevention of many health conditions by enhancing overall health and well-being. Liquid herbal tonics are a convenient and effective way of utilising the medicinal effects of plants.

For example, herbal medicines can be used to:

  • Reduce insomnia and improve sleep
  • Reduce anxiety and improve mood balance
  • Boost energy and reduce fatigue
  • Support hormone balance and boost libido
  • Improve digestion, reduce bloating and reflux
  • Regulate bowel movements and reduce constipation

LIQUID HERBAL TONICS

The art and skill of mixing individualised herbal formulations sets Naturopaths & Herbalists apart from other health professionals.

Herbal liquid formulating has a rich tradition and is based on holistic principles of providing personalised care. It also allows your practitioner greater flexibility in addressing multiple body systems, and the ability to adjust dosage as needed to fine-tune treatment. Herbal medicines are one of the most personalised ways to support your health. Your herbal formula is mixed JUST FOR YOU! It is rare to find 2 herbal combinations the same.
