PARKER HERBALS

Parker Herbals is a herbal medicine private practice focusing on holistic health care... In a nutshell it's inherently no different than our capacity to eat, to drink, to survive on the potential bounty that nature provides. Humans have always consumed plants, and other beings that eat plants, often the ones we can't ingest. We are designed from tip to toe over the millennia to extract nutrients from our environment, which in turn provides the basis of our organism to survive, function, and thrive in its environment. Herbs, being plants (and fungi!), are no different than the plants and plant eating animals we consume. In that sphere as well are plants, fungi, and other substances that can do harm, just as the carnal forces of nature can when we aren't protected and armed against them. Another way to think about it is that there are different degrees of herbs. There are ‘food' herbs, inherently providing nutrition and are often more edible, ‘medicinal' herbs which sit somewhere beyond..
