The use of plants and plant substances is one of the oldest forms of medicine. Plant extracts are used to strengthen the body’s defenses, either as prevention of a disease state or to assist in normalizing an existing one. Plants are powerful medicines and even today are the source from which many pharmaceuticals are derived.

A licensed Naturopathic Doctor will be able to safely prescribe botanical medicines and knows about possible interactions with drugs. At the Kanata Naturopathic Clinic we have an organic line of herbal teas that have been formulated by Dr. Ann Lawrence ND for specific health support as well as other herbal formulas for various conditions.
