Herbalists

Herbalists use plants, herbs, and other natural substances to treat and prevent health issues. They combine medicinal plants, minerals, and other natural substances to form remedies for a variety of health concerns. Herbalists develop their knowledge and skill through practice and study, focusing on the individual’s health and background. Their holistic approach looks at how the body works as a whole, how lifestyle and diet can affect it, and how different botanicals can support it. Herbalists also consider the physical, emotional and spiritual state of a person when developing treatment plans. They integrate personal needs, goals, and lifestyle in order to design remedies tailored to the individual’s needs and preventions. Herbalists also use traditional diagnostic methods, such as pulse diagnosis or tongue examination, to examine a person is a more comprehensive way. No herbal medicine formulation is effective in isolation. In order to be fully effective, herbalists need to address all of the body, mind, and spirit. Practitioners generally use a variety of herbs, foods, and lifestyle modifications as part of a customized treatment plan. They focus on nourishing the body, supporting its proper function, and aiding in a return to balance. Herbalists also provide counseling to help the client adjust lifestyle and/or dietary habits to benefit the healing process. Herbal medicine is recognized by traditional and modern medical systems as an effective and safe approach to treating and providing preventative support for a wide range of ailments.
