Herbal Medicine and Supplements

Herbal Medicine and Supplements at Holistic Health Care Centers on the Border of Lisle and Naperville.

Holistic and integrative healing often includes the use of medicinal herbal formulas and nutraceuticals. These formulas are carefully tailored to each individual based on a differential diagnosis, allowing for multiple layers of support and healing. Unlike conventional medications, herbal formulas and nutraceuticals are derived from natural sources and are selected to treat the root cause of imbalance, not just the symptoms.

A single herbal formula can address a variety of symptoms or conditions due to its foundation in holistic diagnosis. For example, the formula Zhi Bi Di Huang Wan may be used to support menopause, low back pain, exhaustion, and fertility depending on the patient’s underlying pattern. Similarly, five individuals with migraines may receive five different formulas, because treatment is based on each person’s whole-body diagnosis rather than the symptom alone.

Nutraceuticals are vitamins, minerals, herbs, and food-based compounds that offer specific health benefits. The term combines “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical” to reflect their natural origin and therapeutic function. Nutraceuticals can support both healing and prevention. At Holistic Health Care Centers, our nutraceuticals are thoughtfully formulated to combine traditional herbal remedies with the added benefits of corresponding vitamins and minerals, enhancing their overall effectiveness.
