The same principles that we use for acupuncture physical treatment apply in our herbal medicine approach, where we treat by using the body’s intelligent digestive system response. In diagnosis we look for patterns of reaction and response that the body is stuck in, focussing on improving your healthy physiological functioning rather than just trying to stop or mask symptoms. We find that this approach often works when other approaches have not, and also sets up a much better, longer lasting resolution of problems and basis for good future health. Using the flavour and nature of the herbal formula, taken many times through the day, we can directly influence the metabolism, the processing of fluids and the movement of blood. Practitioners will let you know if they feel that your situation could be helped by seeing the herbalists for a consultation.
