The Power of Plant-Based Medicine

Plant-Based Medicine

Herbal and plant-based medicines have a long history. Plants are still the primary form of medicine in Indian, Asian, and some European cultures.

Science has recently discovered that these traditional Ayurvedic medicines have clinically proven benefits. Nature’s bounty is truly unique, and your backyard may be filled with plants that fight disease and strengthen your immunity.

Focus on Wellness

Herbal remedies do more than address symptoms. They help your body heal holistically. Most medicine focuses on curing the apparent symptoms of illness that come with many side effects. Plant-based medicine focuses on creating total health.

When your body is strong, it can resist diseases and reduce signs of aging.

We believe in total wellness as the start of a long, healthy life. Your feet don’t have to suffer from aches, pains, or deformities like bunions. A holistic approach to foot care means feet that are supple, strong, and able to move freely through your life, creating the structural foundation that keeps us active.

Plants Are Potent

Some people believe that plant-based remedies are less effective than other medicinal approaches, but nothing could be further from the truth. As clinical trials have shown, their effectiveness is just as potent as synthetic pharmaceuticals minus the side effects.

Whether you are treating depression, anxiety, chronic inflammation, arthritis, or foot problems, a plant-based approach will work for you. Best of all, it will enhance your immunity and strengthen your whole body.

Use Plants in Many Ways

The best part about plant-based health is how easy it is to incorporate it into your everyday life. Some herbs and plants can be eaten or made into a healthful, delicious drink. These include mints, lemon balm, dandelion leaves, lavender, and basil.

You can also use the compounds from healing plants in powders, oils, tinctures, and compresses that you apply to your skin. Absorption through the skin is one of the quickest ways to get the benefits of herbal treatment.

Researchers have identified thousands of healing compounds in medicinal plants. The teachings of ancient Chinese, Indian, African, and other ancient therapeutic cultures have shown that these compounds work as well as chemical medicines without the dangerous side effects.

Essential Oils

At the Organic Foot, we stress holistic care involving all our sensory and emotional pathways. Essential oils are an effortless way to activate your senses. They provide powerful healing through aromatherapy, topical application, and internal use.

Because of its direct pathway to the limbic system in the brain, aromatherapy is a proven way to lift spirits, calm your mind, and improve your focus.

We apply essential oils to the sole for the best results. The healing properties of the oils enter the skin quickly. They are not seen as foreign and slide directly through membranes. They provide a gentle way to enhance foot health. We can help you choose essential oils that counter the effects of illness, medicine, and environmental toxins.

Workspace Wellness

Workplace Culture and Well Being

Increase focus, motivation, and improve the health of your employees… How does that sound? I know, probably too good to be true but recent studies on essential oils back up all of the above.

Goodness in the Aroma of Office Air

I am here to assist you in providing a healthy work environment that you can feel exhilarated about. Can you smell the calming aroma of lavender or the awakening sensation of peppermint? Just wait!! Wouldn’t it be nice if your coworker was less stressed! YOU BET!

Consider the Office Air

The average person spends more time at work than at home. In our best-case scenario, our work environment should foster our wellness, physically and emotionally.

Just think, happy, healthy people in a non-toxic environment. Could this utopia actually exist? Well, yes! Small changes CAN lead to large results. Education and implementation are where it’s at!

Move Over Toxins – Embrace what’s Essential

On an average day, we are exposed to thousands of environmental toxins. Some we may not have too much control over but most we do. We are just not aware or educated on what the toxins are and how they can be avoided.

What about the ingestion of toxins and office air quality? How nice would it be if we had natural medicinal options at our fingertips at work and home? You guessed it….awareness and education. How about boosting your immune system and reducing the spread of germs around you?

When corporations embrace wellness there is a cumulative corporate gain from healthier (less sick days) and more productive employees.
