Herbal Medicine
The Naturopathic doctors at Flourish Family Medicine are trained in herbal medicine and can help determine which herbs are safe and most effective. Our team is able to create herbal formulas specific to each patient's needs while ensuring that there are no interactions with medications or other supplements.
The clinic has a wide variety of medicinal herbs in stock and is able to provide patients with custom herbal teas and tinctures. We also offer house blends of teas for specific conditions including colds and flu, urinary tract infections, indigestion, and stress/anxiety readily available, but each provider is able to formulate a personalized tea blend based on a patient's individual needs.
Tinctures (alcohol extracts of herbs) are a convenient way to take herbs and do not require preparation like a tea does--you can simply put some drops in a small amount of water or directly into your mouth. Tinctures are easy to transport, and the alcohol is a great preservative, making them effective for years. For those who are not able to tolerate alcohol or for kids, glycerites are a great option. These are extracts of herbs in glycerin, which gives them a sweet flavor. They can be used similarly to tinctures. We are also able to formulate tinctures for you in the office based on your specific symptoms.
If you are interested in receiving a personalized tea or tincture, let your provider know during the visit so they can formulate one for you!
