Yes, herbal medicine can, in certain cases, be used to support mental health. For centuries, people have used herbal remedies for conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other forms of emotional distress. Herbal medicines are often derived from roots, leaves, flowers and bark. These active compounds in herbs have therapeutic effects on the body when taken over time. Some commonly used herbs to support mental health include valerian root which helps promote relaxation; St John's Wort which has been found to have antidepressant properties; ginkgo biloba to reduce stress levels; and chamomile for calming purposes.

Naturopaths can help treat many medical conditions such as allergies, fatigue, digestive concerns, menstrual irregularities and hormonal imbalances. They also address more chronic conditions like diabetes and autoimmune disease. Naturopathic physicians strive to identify the underlying cause of illness as opposed to simply treating symptoms. They will work with you to create a personalised plan that considers your individual needs while incorporating evidence-based treatments with natural therapies.

Curcumin, an active component of turmeric, is known to possess anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce pain and swelling.

Additionally, Arnica montana has been used as a topical application to relieve sore muscles or bruises.
