Botanical traditions, preparation and safety, practised responsibly.
Herbal & Natural Medicine
Herbal and botanical medicine sits across many of the traditions Haven Wellness works with. It is treated as a serious discipline requiring training, sourcing knowledge and attention to interactions.
Herbal practice spans traditional, Chinese, naturopathic and community lineages. Haven Wellness treats it as a discipline in its own right — one that requires knowledge of preparation, quality, dosing and interaction with prescribed medication.
Practitioners are expected to ask about existing medications and coordinate with a person's prescribing clinicians.
