When you learn more about Naturopathic Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine and Herbal Medicine, we look more to the traditional styles of healing. They would look at the cycles of the moon and seasons.
We would want to consume healing herbs in this cycle that would help us in a different way. It could boost out a body in a certain way. Healing herbs can actually be delicious.
There are times when taking healing herbs for energy is great. And there are also times for supporting the body to heal and just rest.
I wasn't a big fan about Herbal Medicine before meeting my guest, Dr. Megan Saunders. She educated me on how gentle, effective and beneficial Herbal Medicine is.
Saunders' Philosophy
Saunders has a deep underlying belief in the innate healing power of our bodies. She became a Naturopathic Physician to help others achieve their health goals through natural means.
"I work with the body to support healing instead of disease and symptom management," said Saunders. "My role is a primary care physician or as a specialist in natural health."
Healing herbs are the medicine of our ancestors. This is something we've been using for thousands of years.
What happened with pharmaceutical medicines is that we lost touch with nature. There are so much more healing components in herbs.
Saunders taught me how to take healing herbs and I totally felt a difference. I feel relaxed and calmer. Basically, I feel ready for bed whereas before I'd be so wired till late at night.
"Healing herbs are amazing for the body. They have so many different constituents that combine together," said Saunders. "Creating a multi-acting medicinal product that's going to help improve your health."
Good Herbs Line
The Good Herbs line is formulating the product to get a good combination of healing herbs. Consequently, It targets a range of symptoms.
Saunders says the quality of the products is very good. Most noteworthy, you don't want to be taking healing herbs that are perhaps dried in a factory line drive-by.
Nervine Herbs
First of all, Saunders says nervine herbs help calm the nervous system. In addition to that, these healing herbs are good for people who are over stimulated or have depression. Furthermore, it is also good for people who have stress, anxiety as well as any pain conditions.
"When herbs are grown in the wild, the active constituents of the healing herbs are part of the plants' immune system," she said. "In addition to that, if it's in the wild, it's going to be making more of the chemical constituents in a stronger quantity."
Saunders explains that pain has something to do with your mental state. Consequently, Nervine herbs reduce that, combined with white willow bark.
"Most Nervines are going to help with digestive issues because they have multiple actions," explains Saunders. "People who experience liver stagnation might take a while to get used to this herb."
Your body will prevent it from overdosing. Because this is also calming and anti-inflammatory, it also addresses pain issues. Furthermore, usually, two droppers is the right amount of dosage.
"Basically, all these healing herbs benefits overlap and each contributes in healing the patient. Yet the beautiful thing about herbs is, it's hard to take too much of it," Saunders said.
Saunders advises that for adrenal formulas, it doesn't matter whether you take it in liquid or capsule form. But in the liquid form, you can adjust the dosage.
Here are the key constituents of adrenal herbs:
Licorice
Royal Jelly
"With adrenal fatigue, there are a lot of co-factors that your body needs to create all of these hormones to function properly," Saunders explains. "B-vitamins, magnesium and minerals---this is a dense, nutrient-rich product."
Holy Basil
Finally, Saunders also clarified that often with adrenal issues, we have blood sugar swings and feel tired. Hence, she claims Good Herbs formulations can eradicate all those medical conditions over time using her treatment plan.
"It's a long-term treatment plan usually 3-6 months in terms of assessment. Hence, you should be feeling better after a month," Saunders said. "By the end of three months, one should start noticing the difference."
Dr. Saunders graduated from medical school in Bastyr University in 2013. Her specialties include Naturopathy and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Pain Medicine.
She says she has a passion for empowering patients with the tools to create a new standard of health. This she says, improved their quality of life through natural health.
