Herbal remedies, and someone who knows the difference.

Where the line runs

Complementary remedies accompany treatment, they do not replace necessary medical care. That is not a formula for the package insert but the condition under which advice is worth anything at all.

Concretely that means: if we are convinced you need something else, we tell you – even if you come in with a clear idea. And if a preparation does nothing in your situation, we say that too rather than selling it.

Natural remedies with standards

Herbal remedies and micronutrients can be a sensible addition. Sometimes they are exactly the right thing, sometimes something else is better. Knowing the difference is what we are here for. Alongside Bach flowers, Schuessler salts and micronutrients we keep homeopathy in stock and carry spagyric remedies on a small scale, to order at any time.

Our advice goes beyond “what helps against what”. We look at your medication as a whole, at possible interactions and at what actually makes sense in your situation. Most often it is about four questions: what strengthens the immune system? What helps with falling asleep? What can be done about stress and exhaustion? And does a vitamin or mineral preparation do anything at all in your situation? We tell you what is documented and what is not.

Natural does not automatically mean well tolerated

Herbal remedies are active substances, and active substances can get in each other’s way. The best-known example is St John’s wort: it considerably reduces the effect of several prescription medicines, including blood thinners and hormonal contraceptives. Anyone taking both without knowing believes they are protected and is not.

Worth knowing

Bring your medication plan along, even if you are “only” looking for something herbal. That is exactly where the interactions arise that nobody thinks of, because the remedy is available over the counter after all. The same applies to the food supplements under our own name.
