Herbal Remedies & Botanical Medicine
Since the dawning of time, plant based medicines have been used as powerful tools to nourish, cleanse, restore and balance organ functions and to help align us to our higher purposes.

There is now great emerging science supporting the phytotherapeutic actions of the plant based medicines used by our elders. These medicines spring from nature's pharmacy and carry an essential vital force within. They can treat both acute and chronic conditions, mild to severe conditions, they address illnesses, promote health, restore vitality and connect us to our environment.
Homeopathy & Homeopathic Medicine
This form of medicine is based on the application of the “law of similars” in which a unique remedy is selected that matches and clears the unique constellation of symptoms. Remedies may originate from the plant, mineral, or animal kingdoms. Remedy selection is based on matching the universal vital force of the remedy to the vital force of the individual seeking treatment in order to instigate a healing response. Homeopathic medicine can treat the constitutional as well as balance and compensate the miasmatic
underlying susceptibilities of an individual by altering the terrain in which illness resides.

This is a unique treatment process involving establishing several key foundational nutritive, metabolic, and detoxification steps designed to support proper cellular communication. When our cellular communication systems have been restored, a dynamic and fluid exchange begins to occur, allowing cells to quench their thirst for nutrient intakes, while concurrently releasing intracellular toxins out of the cells (extracellularly) where they can be swept away for removal. When cells are healthy, their energy balance shifts, they spin in the right direction and they become highly efficient at processing internal messages and physiological reactions correctly to help restore health and vitality.
