Herbs are medicine.
It is important to Marcia that the herbs are free of pesticides and petroleum fertilizers.
Because sustainability is also a priority, the herbs in Marcia Dixon’s dispensary are largely organically and/or biodynamically grown rather than wildcrafted.
What does herbal treatment involve?
Herbal treatment includes a custom-formulated blend of herbs dispensed in my office. Herbal medicines are prepared in several different ways.
Tincture: an alcohol-based extract. This age-old process uses alcohol to extract the active constituents of herbs, making them not only more convenient to take, but also more concentrated per volume than in their dried state.
Tea: a blend of dried herbs prepared especially for you, to which you add boiling water to steep for approximately ten minutes
Cream: a topical medicine consisting of water-based and oil-based herbal extracts
Salve: a topical medicine made with an oil-based herbal extract and beeswax
Changes in diet and lifestyle may also be suggested in order to help the body to heal.
Conditions that may be helped by Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine has been used throughout the ages for health and healing.
Present-day conditions that may respond positively to herbs are:
Acid Reflux
Allergies
Arthritis
Detoxification
High blood pressure
Inflammatory bowel disease
Irritable bowel syndrome
Many skin conditions
Menopausal symptoms
Mild depression and anxiety
