botanical medicine

botanical medicine involves the use of plants and plant extracts for medicinal purposes. When used correctly, botanicals help to stimulate prevention and aid in healing of the body. Plants are complex by nature; it is important for the naturopathic doctor to understand their chemical structure, properties and uses. The integration of botanical medicine into a regimen can help guide our body through the healing process and improve our complex biochemical environment. There are a variety of botanical medicinals for certain health goals, concerns and conditions. A naturopathic doctor can help navigate which botanical’s are best suited for your healthcare goals.
