Holistic Doctor and Clinical Herbalist
Women’s Health Clinical Herbalist:
My approach is one in partnership with clients/patients that involves utilizing traditional medicine knowledge along with modern medicine concepts to keep up to date with scientific research and new paradigms of understanding the body, herbs and health to inform and direct my work.
Herbal medicine is a natural, safe and effective form of medicine. Herbs have been safely used for thousands of years; this knowledge, with trial and error has been passed down through generations and cross-culturally.
I am informed not only by your symptoms, but the bigger picture- what you eat, your stress levels, your exercise and mind-body movement. These factors all combine to produce your overall health and wellbeing. If one area is out of balance this will impact other areas of your health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Gynecology: Chinese Medicine, a systematic approach to functional wellness, has recognized and treated Gynecological problems as a specialist field for over 2000 years. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory understands female physiology directly in relation to the functional relationships between the internal organs, meridians (the channels through which the body’s essential energy – Qi – flows), and reproductive organs. According to TCM theory treatment is therefore dependent on diagnosing the condition of your internal organs and checking the flow of blood and Qi through specific meridians.
Each herbal medicine protocol is formulated on an individual basis to address the concerns presented.
