plants as medicine

Local medicinal materials are propagated, harvested and prepared by hand within our permaculture. The integrated clinic is based on a place were the plant and pharmaceutical medicines continue to undergo comparative active ingredient documentation.

Clinic traditional healers and physicians work together with phytochemists and associated collegiate libraries, schools and laboratories to identify the active ingredients in the medicinal plants used at the clinic.  This results in a scientific understanding of how these phyto-medicines produce the healing results witnessed everyday.  

This collaboration establishes an integrated wellness system that strengthens the bonds between Integrated Clinic & Institute’s allopathic and indigenous naturopathic healers while deepening the respect for both the ingredients and treatment procedures.  

It shall also give a firm scientific grounding to the phyto-medicines that raise their effects from anecdotal evidence to that of proven healing agents.  This will also prepare them to be integrated  into the knowledge and wellness systems to meet the health challenges of the 21st century.
