Wellness and Herbal Consultation from Clearpath Herbals
Herbs are the most widely used remedies in the world, time-tested for tens of thousands of years. Herbs are as much nourishing foods as they are medicines, and most have far fewer side effects than the mildest pharmaceutical drugs. As nutrition and medicine, herbs are useful for maintaining health and balance as well as addressing acute, chronic and constitutional health concerns.
Disease is the body’s inability to respond effectively to stress, imbalance, or invasion. While herbs do relieve symptoms, they work better and more suitably at the source of illness, helping the body to return to ease, balance and health.
Medicinally potent on their own, herbs become even more successful when part of an overall health program that includes lifestyle and nutritional guidance. Herbs also supplement and complement modern medicine.
Herbal Remedies – My botanic medicines include mostly tinctures (extracts), and also tea blends, oils, flower essences and powders. The herbs I use are organically cultivated, conscientiously wildcrafted, or procured from the highest quality sources, ensuring optimum strength and freshness. Tinctures are extracted in a range of solvents including organic alcohol, distilled water, vegetable glycerin, and vinegar.

“The body has an innate ability to maintain, balance, heal and correct itself. As an herbalist, I educate people, more so than treat conditions. I offer lifestyle and nutritional suggestions as well as custom-blended herbal preparations to help facilitate an individual’s natural healing processes.”
