Natural Treatments

It is difficult to do a "standard" treatment on a Patient as each person is different. Each persons symptoms will be different and their blood tests will be different. 

If a Naturopath has two Patients in a day with high blood sugar their total presentation of symptoms etc will vary, one may have high blood pressure and the other one doesn't. One may have high cholesterol and the other one does not and so on. 

One may be on all sorts of medications and the other one will not be taking anything at all. Therefore, every Medical Herbalist and Naturopath prescription will vary.

Qualified Practitioners understand the dangers of using the wrong herb with a medication, and we feel that it is our responsibility to have studied this thoroughly. It is a big part of herbal medicine study. Having done over 7 years of full time study so far Debbie Hearn has a good understanding of these issues and can advise you on complicated issues. Therefore the profiles below are just examples of what might be considered in your case.

Many of these articles are in no way finished but have been supplied in the hope that they can help people understand the relevant issues. Also it is hoped that it will demonstrate some traditional concepts in Herbal Medicine but also show some current research. Check out Pubmed for citations on herbal research in disease.
