Global Healing Traditions

Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Unani, and the herbal traditions of Africa, the Americas and Europe developed separately, yet converge on striking common ground: attention to digestion, sleep, seasonal rhythm, and constitution rather than symptoms alone.

Herbal medicine in particular carries real interaction risk. The safety guide below is the one to read before trying anything you find here.
