Holistic herbal medicine is
about much more than replacing pharmaceutical medicines with natural
remedies; it is a deep philosophy of healing as ancient as the human
race and as modern as clinical studies.
One of the ways modern Western
Herbalists use plants is by combining a holistic approach to western
physiology with the energetics and intuitive diagnostics of traditional
holistic medicine, including Chinese and Ayurvedic philosophies. The
experience of healing with plants is unlike any other healing modality,
since the plants nourish and nurture us from the ground up.
If you are interested in becoming
an Herbalist yourself, take a look at the Summer Weekly or Winter Weekend
Herbalist Training Programs.
The next program will be the Summer Weekly Program, starting May
6, 2008.
If you find yourself in need
of healing, take a look at the Consultations
page. CoreyPine has been seeing clients for over a decade, and in consultations
combines Chinese and traditional holistic evaluation with nutrition
and lifestyle advice.
Pine's Herbals offers tinctures
and salves that are all hand-made, mostly from locally gathered
plants; the catalog is here. If you are interested in obtaining products,
