Natural medicine is your whole plant medicine alternative to symptom-management. Natural medicines are food concentrates, or extracts of foods that natural doctors use to help you.
Whole plant medicine contains the full spectrum of naturally occurring plant compounds in the plant. Extracts of medicinal plants may contain cannabinoids like CBD, or other naturally occurring therapeutic compounds found in medicinal herbs. Your natural doctor may use whole plant oils like CBD oil, or black seed oil.
The key in whole plant medicine is the full spectrum of available plant nutrients, not just an isolated chemical (an isolate). We may also use whole extracts of plant parts, like just from the roots.
Heal with Natural Medicine
Can a pill containing a combination of foods be your medicine? Yes. Food concentrates in clinical potency can be your medicine, but Food is never a drug, and drugs are never food, You can let food be thy medicine, just as Hippocrates said. We use foods as medicines, but our care is not diet alone!
Our herbal medicines are vegetarian whole-food concentrates or plant medicine. Yet, extracts from whole foods aren’t always from plants. Some valuable extracts can also come from the animal kingdom, containing extracts from various tissues such as the adrenal glands. At our in-office integrative evaluation, we determine the best natural medicines for your specific needs.

Why does natural medicine work for some but not for others?
Your success depends on how closely you follow the natural medicine practitioner’s recommendations, and your discipline to follow through. The skills of the natural medicine doctor are important, but it also depends on you.
Do you have to “believe” in natural medicine in order for it to work?
No, but you should believe in any medicine system enough to follow the doctor’s directions. Otherwise, it will not work for you, no matter what system is used; conventional, or alternative.
When patients do not believe a medicine will work, they might not take it as directed, thereby “showing the world” that it doesn’t work. Your actions are the key. The same requirement applies to any medical system.
