herbal treatment vs. conventional medicine!

It is important to note that the following slides contain information on herbs that can be used in place of different conventional medicines. While I am in support of using all natural alternatives in

place of conventional medicine- DO NOT use any of these remedies without first consulting with a

naturopathic doctor and receiving instructions for proper usage. Just because something is all natural, doesn’t mean that it can’t have negative effects if

used incorrectly.

Again… I Want to Emphasize….It is important to note that the previous slides contain information on herbs that can be used in place of different conventional medicines. While I am in support of using all natural alternatives in place of conventional medicine- DO NOT use any of these remedies without first consulting with a naturopathic doctor and receiving instructions for proper usage.
