The art of combining plants, minerals and other natural substances to create medicinal formulas is known as herbal medicine. Axis Natural Medicine regularly uses herbal medicines, specifically formulated to an individuals constitution and area of concern. Natural medicine works to help the body heal itself with its own natural processes. This results in the ability to address the cause of the disease rather than just masking the symptoms.

We consider many factors when selecting an herbal formula for you. These include your body type, lifestyle, and individual health concerns. We might prescribe more aggressively for some, and keep smaller doses for others. These are decisions you and your physician will discuss together.

With all the internet information about herbs and supplementation, it is easy to feel like you know what to take. Some herbs interact with prescriptions, over the counter medications and supplements. Some herbs are not safe with certain medical conditions, or are actually safer than the internet leads you to believe! Only take herbs that are prescribed by an appropriate medical provider to make sure you avoid any negative reactions.

When using herbs, results typically take longer to achieve than with prescription drugs. Hang in there! By addressing the cause of the problem and allowing your body to heal, you should have longer lasting results with fewer side effects.

While both providers are experienced in creating custom formulas from raw herbs, most people don’t enjoy drinking medicinal tea. Honestly – we don’t blame them! Because of this, we usually prescribes herbs in pill or tablet format.
