** Includes 13 Teaching Sessions +
Discover how to safely combine and customize healing herbs — that effectively address your symptoms and consider your medical history.
Explore highly successful plant medicine remedies — including specific medicinal herbs for chronic conditions.
Think like a clinical herbalist to help heal autoimmune conditions (including fibromyalgia & thyroid imbalances), digestive challenges, cancer treatment side effects, mental health, and more.
Your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing are important… and can become even more central to your everyday life when you’re struggling with a chronic health condition…
Whether faced with a digestive issue, an autoimmune condition, anxiety, depression, or cancer… your devotion to your health is well worth the effort.
Yet, as you know, it can be overwhelming… constantly seeing doctors and natural health practitioners, trying new treatments — from conventional to natural… not to mention the money and time it consumes.
You’ve also likely discovered that the internet offers a vast amount of information about modern epidemics and how to address them…
… with natural practitioners, health organizations, doctors, and even support groups providing insights on the causes, symptoms, and treatments for — well, everything.
It’s no surprise if you’re feeling confused or frustrated — and tired of spending money on remedies that work only briefly or not at all… or sometimes even make a condition worse…
Even the natural power of plant medicine (from essential oils to herbs) can feel overwhelming to master…
You may find yourself wondering:
What kind of results can I realistically expect from plant medicine?
Which types of herbs can I safely combine?
Could an herb help ONE of my symptoms while making another one worse?
How can I best work with my doctor to introduce plant medicine into my healing protocol?
How can I accurately measure my progress?
Are there additional practices I could bring into my life to maximize plant medicine’s healing power?
How do I separate misleading or irrelevant information from genuine, proven, and time-tested knowledge and wisdom?
The therapeutic benefits of medicinal plants have been validated through evidence-based research… not to mention centuries of successful use, with some remedies dating back to ancient times.
Yet, while detoxes, cleanses, and medicinal herbs can be beneficial in healing inflammation, digestive issues, and other chronic conditions, they aren’t cure-alls… and they come with risks if they’re overused.
Thankfully, there ARE universal principles and guidelines for using plant medicine, which can greatly reduce your confusion as you seek remedies for both simple and complex conditions…
