Phytotherapy is the science-based use of plant-derived substances for medicinal purposes.
For example, many culinary herbs, such as mint and ginger, are used medicinally to treat a variety of conditions. Digestive conditions often respond well to treatment with these types of supplements.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of British Columbia. I have several years of work experience in nursing covering such specialty areas as gastroenterology, plastic surgery, gerontology, ophthalmology, sexual health and family planning.
I am a member in good standing with the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, and the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors, and I am licensed by the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO).
As a naturopathic doctor, I work with many treatment modalities, some of which you will find described on this site, but have a special interest in clinical nutrition and orthomolecular medicine.
