Natural Medicine

Welcome to the Levin Clinic of Natural Medicine. If you suffer from health problems, particularly if they have been long-standing, herbal medicine may be able to help you.

Today, scientific research and the highest professional standards are applied to the practice of herbal medicine with more and more information emerging daily about the actions of herbal medicines on the body.

The effectiveness of herbal medicine lies in the fact that it does not aim solely to treat the symptoms of illness but to identify and address the underlying causes of disease. Therefore herbal medicines work by stimulating or strengthening the body’s normal functions, enabling the body to heal itself. Because they aim at the complex task of restoring the body’s equilibrium, herbal medicines often take longer than ordinary medicines to achieve a therapeutic effect. Treatment may last for weeks, even months. On the other hand, they lack many disturbing side effects of prescription drugs.

Each patient is approached as an individual, with any diagnosis made on the basis of an examination of the whole person and any treatment prescribed being unique to his or her health needs.

Modern day herbalists are trained in conventional medical sciences as well as in the application and pharmacology of herbal preparations. Herbalists often work in cooperation with medical doctors and herbal treatment can in most cases be combined with medicines prescribed by a doctor. Only by consulting a qualified herbalist can you be certain that you are getting the best of plant medicines and that you are using them safely
