herbal medicine

Medicinal plants can be used to treat a complex network of bodily dysfunction.

Oral forms of administration:

  • Food: ingested as a whole plant or condiment

  • Tea: dried plant parts infused in boiling water

  • Tincture: medicinal herbs dissolved in an alcohol solution

  • Pill: powdered herb that is packed into a tab or capsule

Some of my favourite herbs include:

  • Turmeric: may help in the reduction of inflammation and pain

  • Ginger: a warming herb to support bloating and indigestion

  • Kava: helps promote muscle relaxation, a sense of calm, and sleep

  • Rosemary: a powerful herb to stimulate mental clarity

  • Calendula: may be used topically for wound healing

  • Cordyceps: a mushroom that supports stress, athletic performance and immune function
