Look around you, and you will see organic and plant life of tremendous variety. For centuries and millennia, these natural substances have been utilized to assist in healing. Many pharmaceuticals in use today have been formulated with a natural organic origin.
Herbal medicine is effective for a range of conditions, including exterior, interior, acute, and chronic issues. This form of medicine is both restorative and preservative. Herbs possess numerous characteristics and qualities, which include flavors such as sweet, bitter, salty, astringent, and sour, among others. They also interact with the body in various ways, moving up, down, in, and out. Some herbs are chosen for their unique ability to transport other herbs to specific areas of the body, similar to a guide navigating through a dense jungle. A guide herb directs the other herbs to where they are needed most within the body. Mastering Chinese herbs and herbal formulas takes years of dedicated study.
Herbs and herbal formulas come in various forms tailored to specific needs and uses. Topical preparations are applied directly to the body. For instance, some topical salves I create utilize organic sesame oil and are finished with local beeswax sourced from Palatka. Tinctures I prepare are made with vodka and can be sprayed onto the affected area. These herbal preparations can be beneficial in enhancing blood flow, tonifying circulation, warming channels, and managing pain.
Herbal formulas are crafted specifically for the conditions presented and are customized to address individual needs. There are generally stages that may require different herbal treatments. In the acute phase, my goal is to relieve symptoms. In the next phase, I aim to correct underlying conditions. Finally, in the maintenance stage, support is provided to ensure ongoing health.
I take great pleasure in helping individuals with herbal medicine. Think of herbal formulas as the gasoline and engine oil your car needs to run. No matter how polished the exterior appears, a car cannot move forward without oil and gasoline inside. Similarly, herbal medicine, like the essential fluids in your vehicle, can significantly aid you in reaching your desired destination. It is advantageous for acute, chronic, preventive, restorative, and preservative conditions.
