Nutritional and Herbal medicineWe LOVE talking about nutrition and herbal medicine and what benefits these can have on your health. And trust me when I say, a little can go a long way. You know the saying - you are what you eat. Well at |Be. Health Studio| we believe you are what you eat, what you consume mentally, what you put on your body topically and how you spend your time will have profound impacts on your health. As not one person is the same, we use different dietary strategies for each person. Trust me it won't be a don't eat gluten, don't eat dairy, only eat grass strategy. It will be about eating food you love, food that tastes good and food that your body will enjoy. What is herbal medicine? I am so glad you asked. Herbal medicine is magic. Herbal medicine is specific parts of plants that are used to treat disease and enhance health. Yes, it can tase awful, but weirdly, they get easier to take and you will soon love them! As a naturopath I have studied and have access to hundreds of individual herbal formulations. Each herb has specific actions and work by enhancing, modulating, down-regulating or supporting a specific pathway. Areas that we use herbs for in clinic: Pain management To reduce inflammation Immune modulation Hormone regulation Sleep support And many, many more. Just like any drug, they can have interaction with other medications. This is why we do a thorough case history and check any interactions prior to any herbal formulas being prescribed to patients.
