There are many ways of being an herbalist.
At Five Elements Herbals we practice in the Vitalist Tradition with a focus on safety and sustainability. Vitalism is a way of using herbal therapeutics that trusts in the body’s innate ability to effectively heal on its own. When given the right circumstances, tools and support, the body’s natural state is health. Vitalism takes into account the whole person—body, mind and spirit. The Vitalist approach to health helps you tap into your body’s own ability to heal through lifestyle changes, nutrition, healthful eating, mindset or spiritual practices, herbal therapeutics and supplements.
Whole person care.
Vitalism is not a this-for-that system of care. Rather than recommending an herbal formula for a specific symptom, the aim of Vitalism is to get to the root of your condition. Herbs are just one component of a much larger healing system. No illness or disease exists in a vacuum, and many times come from multiple sources. As your vitalist herbalist, Rachel will work with you to identify and address the root cause of your symptoms, while working in harmony with the rest of your medical team. Remember, healing starts from within, and you get out what you put in. If you’re ready to do the healing work, let’s get started!
