Natural Medicine
Natural medicine, which can be thought of as ‘alternative,’ ‘herbal’ or ‘plant’ medicine, uses natural substances such as plants, mushrooms, and other organic materials to support health and wellness. Natural medicine can include herbal remedies, essential oils, dietary supplements, and aromatherapy. Many plants also double as adaptogens – or substances that help the body adapt to stress and maintain balance. Other natural plants, such as fungi, often referenced as medicinal mushrooms, can also be used in natural medicine to boost immunity, support cognitive function, promote energy and longevity.
Natural medicine supports the body’s ability to heal and adapt by addressing root causes of imbalance. It integrates natural substances to promote overall wellness, complementing modern or conventional medicine with a focus on prevention and holistic health.
