Herbal medicine, often referred to as herbalism, is the study and practice of using medicinal
plants for therapeutic purposes. Medicinal plants may be used to help prevent, treat, or manage
disease. Herbalism is an ancient and effective form of medicine that may help with treating
acute and chronic illnesses. Herbal medicine is a modality often used to help address the
underlying cause of disease and improve overall health.

Herbalism can be a very gentle yet very effective form of medicine that can help treat a variety
of health concerns. Unlike pharmaceuticals, plants often do not come with a long list of side
effects.

An Herbalist is a health and wellness practitioner that focuses on using medicinal herbs to
address health concerns. An appointment with an herbalist is a very relaxed discussion process
where they gain greater insight into your health and help determine the underlying cause of
disease. They then come up with a protocol that includes herbal recommendations, while also
providing nutrition and lifestyle considerations. The herbalist here at Wellness Institute can also
provide you with herbal products, such as tincture formulas, that are specific to your health
concerns as discussed within consultation.

We offer herbal tincture formulations that are specific to the client and their health concerns.
