Are you searching for a common-sense approach to health and wellness? Have you tried "everything" for a persistent health problem with little or no success? Are you frustrated with the ineffectiveness of pharmaceutical drugs and concerned about their side effects? As a certified Master Herbalist practicing since 1997, I now use my speaking and writing to help you Take Back Your Body and prevent common ailments—without drugs or surgery. Grandma’s common sense and herbal remedies that have been used for centuries can effectively prevent most diseases, and help heal current imbalances through the simple use of plants and lifestyle choices. Negative side effects are rare, but it’s always best to work with a trained health care practitioner—a must if you are on any pharmaceutical or over-the-counter drugs. You don’t have to cancel your doctor’s appointments and throw away your prescription medications. Many herbalists and naturopaths work with your physician to offer integrated choices for you. Helpful lab tests can sometimes identify the problem, but the solution does not always have to involve costly medications and a host of negative side effects. Herbal Medicine is Mother Nature’s way of dealing with your body’s ailments -- and you can seek its comfort and relief in conjunction with modern medicine.
