Herbal medicine is perhaps the oldest form of medicine in the world. Every culture on earth has their own unique form of herbal medicine reflecting the plants available in their region. Dr. Casey Carter draws from the Western, Chinese, and Native Mexican herbal traditions. All of these traditions stress the importance in viewing the individual as a whole, not just a collection of symptoms. Wellness is the result of many interrelating factors, including nutrition, stress management, restful sleep, choosing good healthcare practitioners, and healthy lifestyle choices. The goal of an herbal consult with Dr. Casey is to integrate herbal medicines into your overall health care plan.
On a more practical note, Dr. Carter understands that you, as a consumer, may be overwhelmed by the choices available at health food and vitamin stores. We can also help individual clients to choose appropriate herbal therapies and supplements for their individual condition, advise as to safety and possible drug interactions, and answer questions about individual herbs and supplements.
Dr. Carter is an Associate with Our World Network (www.ourworldnetwork.com/drcasey.) Our World Network developed the world famous all natural supplements Sleepees™, which promotes a deep, restful, non habit forming, full 8 hours of sleep and Skinnees™, which increases energy levels, decreases appetite and reduces stress levels.
