Herbal medicine has been used for centuries and is one of the oldest systems of medicine. The gentle balancing and tonifying action of herbs make them extremely beneficial for all conditions. Many modern pharmaceutical medications were derived from the therapeutic action of plants, and through the use of herbal medicine, the side effects of drugs are eliminated while maintaining the powerful healing properties of nature’s medicine. Dr. Elliott has a special affinity for botanical medicine and primarily uses tinctures (alcohol extraction), teas, and concentrated capsules in her practice.
