HERBAL MEDICINE
AN ANCIENT SCIENCE
What is herbal medicine?
Herbal medicine, also known as herbalist or botanical medicine, is a medical system based on the use of plants or plant extracts that may be eaten or applied to the skin. Since ancient times, herbal medicine has been used by many different cultures throughout the world to treat illness and to assist bodily functions.Herbal remedies in the form of extracts, tinctures, capsules and tablets as well as teas may be recommended by healthcare practitioners of many different disciplines as a practical way to address a wide variety of medical conditions.
What are the principles of herbal medicine?
Herbalism is designed to use herbs to treat the underlying causes of disease in a client. Instead of looking at the signs and symptoms and then treating the disease, herbalists look at the whole picture, from lifestyle to physical stressor, in order to prescribe the right treatment.
Once the cause of a condition is discovered, the herb is prescribed to restore the body's natural balance. Herbalism is understanding how different herbs work with the body to restore balance and health.
Herbs are also used in many traditions as a preventative action to boost immune function and promote general wellbeing before any disease occurs.
While many pharmaceutical companies use the active ingredients found in herbs in their products, herbalists believe in something called "herbal synergy," which means that in order for the herb to be as safe and effective as possible, it is important to use the whole plant instead of extracting only the active ingredients. For instance, meadowsweet contains salicylic acid, which is the active ingredient in aspirin. While aspirin alone often causes issues in people who have sensitive stomachs, meadowsweet also contains tannin and mucilage, which work to protect the stomach from the salicylic acid. 1

What Conditions Do Chiropractors Treat?
Chiropractors treat a wide variety of patients with many different health conditions and concerns. Doctors of chiropractic are particularly known for their extensive knowledge of the way the spine impacts the rest of the body. They often treat back pain, neck pain, whiplash, migraine headaches, carpal tunnel, shoulder pain and many musculoskeletal system
injuries and disorders. Chiropractic care providers also provide general wellness care to their patients. Because a healthy spine means better overall bodily function, many
chiropractic patients have
regular adjustments even when they are not ill or injured in to maintain wellness.

Chiropractic Tip - Practice Preventive Healthcare Now
​
Some people are very detail and deadline oriented. Others just surge forward doing what is needed as it comes up. When it comes to health care, the people who pay attention, and promptly take action, often do much better. They learn about prevention and actually practice it. Down the road, that can really pay off, keeping the body in the game, and functioning well.
Those people often live longer, enjoying active retirements, traveling, playing with grand kids, and exploring new hobbies. Keeping the body healthy gives them a freedom that not everyone enjoys as the years add up.
"Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels."
