Our Planet, Our Plants, Ourselves…
Often referred to as “the First Medicine”, botanical medicines have been used for millennia in the treatment of any and all health conditions. Our licensed naturopathic doctors draw on the vast wisdom of traditional practices from around the world including Europe, Asia and India.
Approximately 40% of prescription medications are derived from plants, and in 80% of cases, the use of a plant as a botanical medicine is identical to the use of the pharmaceutical derived from that plant. Plants have been confirmed to have over 124 pharmacological actions.
Other plant compounds have been developed into semi-synthetic, patentable versions. Examples of these kinds of compounds include:
Naturopathic doctors combine indications for botanical medicine’s long historical use with the most recent advances in pharmacognosy (the study of plant medicine), including any potential herb and drug interactions.
