We all know that science says vegetables are good for us, and many doctors promote a plant-based diet. Botanical medicine is the use of plants as medicine, specifically to help the body heal from a disease or symptoms. Their use by humans dates back to prehistorical times.

Research into the safety and effectiveness of botanical medicine has grown exponentially in recent decades. Today we now have research that supports the use of botanical medicine to treat a wide variety of conditions.

At Palouse Naturopathic Medicine, we utilize the healing power of plants to gently nudge the body towards health. Botanical medicine is also effective at alleviating symptoms while the body takes time to heal.
