Clinical Herbal Therapy (or Western Herbal Medicine) is the clinical practice of healing that draws from Europe and North America’s herbal traditions and modern medical science. It aims to discover and address the root cause of an illness or condition and provide relief for the current symptoms. A clinical herbalist will create herbal remedies best suited to your health challenge and may recommend diet, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle modifications. Remedies are most often in the form of teas or liquid extracts but may also include creams, salves, oils, or capsules.
