We have used herbs for hundreds of years, relying on powdered supplements, teas, tinctures, and skin creams to help treat everything from skin rashes to mild depression. Herbal supplements, also known as botanicals, are made from the leaves, flowers, roots, and bark of plants. Herbalists like Dr. Abiola with many many years of experience, attempt to find the root cause of illness, select the herbs based on the symptoms or ailments a patient describes during consultation and thereafter generate a personalized prescription. Patients often times may use just one herbal treatment or a combination of herbal supplements.
