The use of plants to treat illness is possibly the oldest form of medicine known to man. Plants have a wide range of documented healing properties, including the ability to balance hormones, decrease blood pressure, stimulate the immune system and lower blood sugar levels.
At Toronto-Centre Naturopathic Medicine, we combine the best of traditional European herbalism and Chinese herbalism with the most recent advances in pharmacology (the study of plant pharmacy), as well as an awareness of potential herb-drug interactions.
