HERBAL MEDICINE

Picture
The use of plants as medicine can be traced back to the beginning of civilization and is one of the oldest methods of healing. The roots, flowers, leaves, seeds, and bark of certain plants can be used in the form of food & teas or in extracted forms such as tinctures, capsules, and solid extracts.

A common misconception is that herbs are 'natural and therefore safe'. Although natural, herbs can be harmful if used improperly or when combined inappropriately with certain pharmaceutical drugs. In addition, adverse effects have been reported from the use of adulterated or contaminated herbal supplements. 

***Do not self-medicate with herbs - Dr. Chow, ND ensures that any herbs prescribed will not interact with any medications you are taking and only recommends high quality herbal products from trusted companies that meet professional standards.
