Herbal treatment vs. Conventional medicine!

Transcript of 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.
