Phyto-therapy or Clinical Herbal therapy is a holistic Western Herbal Medicine modality that makes use of the scientific knowledge of conventional medicine and non-invasive physical examinations to evaluate the patient’s state of health and well-being; but uses herbal and other natural remedies, nutrition, lifestyle to promote and nurture the physical, physiological, mental and emotional needs of an individual.
The treatment/recommendations for a patient is based on a detail information of patient’s medical, social, and family history, lifestyle and nutritional habits, appropriate non-invasive physical exams, and available medical diagnostic exams. In addition, the therapy may also include recommendations to adjunct therapies such as massage therapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment, or a visit to a medical doctor for medical evaluation and/or diagnostic exams.
