This real patient’s story demonstrates not only the value of homeopathic treatment, but also sheds light on some common misconceptions that patients and practitioners may have.  CASE PRESENTATION A 46-year-old female came to

If Herbs Could Talk: The SAD Winter Council

The transition into colder and darker months is a difficult transition for many. We are no longer offered the gift of long days and the warmth of consistent sunshine on our skin.  Seasonal affective disorder, also known as “seasonal depression,” affects up to 10% of the United States population and increases in prevalence as you get further from the equator.  We deserve to honor and nourish our cyclical natures and offer the fall and winter as times to slow down
