Contextual Treatment in Herbal Medicine
The focus of this workshop is to ensure that the treatment protocol for the client is in keeping with the specific needs of the individual rather than using a blanket approach to treat what may present as a similar condition in others. Powers of observation and other senses must be used to discern what differentiates the client’s needs from a superficial understanding of the symptoms. In this way, we can address the underlying imbalance. From here, we can then proceed to match the health protocol to accompanying factors in the client’s environment, be it lifestyle, habitat, latitude, season or climate.
