Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine

Botanical Medicine

Simply put, Botanical Medicine is using various extraction techniques to concentrate the medicinal component of a plant commonly in the form of a tincture, tea or capsule. 

In some cases, Botanical Medicine can be used to decrease the required dose or need for certain pharmaceuticals or requirement for antibiotics. However, I'd like to emphasize that it is critically important to work with both your medical doctor and naturopathic doctor when trying to make these adjustments to avoid adverse events or adverse drug interactions.
