Although our tools may be different, we find that there is an overlap in the philosophies of functional medicine and herbalism. This is particularly evident in the functional model of recognizing the pathways of underlying imbalances that exist before disease states manifest. In those imbalances, we can often provide nutritional and herbal support to help people feel well, anchored and nourished.
Because of that commonality, we can use the functional approach to help inform our therapeutic plans as herbalists. This class will explore some basic labs that your clients may bring from their conventional doctors, which we can review through a functional lens. Using this lens, we will get a sense of where some of those underlying imbalances might be and how we might bridge the gap from the conventional world to our work as herbal practitioners.
