Herbal Medicine

At Heart & Soul Institute, herbal preparations and other supplements are often used as a treatment modality. For thousands of years, holistic practitioners have known of and employed a vast array of herbs with exceptional medicinal properties. Western pharmacology is now beginning to acknowledge these natural counterparts: aspirin from willow bark, penicillin from fungus, digitalis from foxglove. Herbal formulas are extremely effective in unblocking stagnations and in fortifying the internal organs, and, when used properly, act without the harmful side effects of many processed pharmaceuticals. Herbs may be prescribed in the form of teas, powders, capsules, pills, tinctures, creams, syrups or plasters.
