Herbal medicine can help with many aspects of men’s heath such as prostate problems, male infertility, impotence and male hormonal imbalances.
Digestive Health
The key to all good health is a healthy vibrant digestive system. Research now shows the critical link between good digestive health and ALL aspects of health. Through functional testing we can get to the root cause of most digestive issues and help support and repair.
Stress and Fatigue
The effects of stress on the body are widespread and leach into almost every other system of the body.
By using herbal adaptogens and nervines we can support the body’s natural support system thereby regaining health and vitality.
Chronic Conditions
We have a new generation of chronic diseases that continuously deteriorate and rarely go away. Herbal medicine is effective in helping manage these diseases such as type 2 diabetes, auto-immune diseases, digestive diseases and inflammatory diseases.
Health Lifestyles
At a herbal consultation we will look at all aspects of health including diet, exercise, sleep, alcohol consumption rest and stress management. It is as important to adjust and remedy contributing factors as it is to add in herbal care.
