MUST HAVE Supplements to Stock Your Natural Medicine Cabinet!

Natural or holistic medicine has a foundation of nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle.  By lifestyle we include sufficient good quality sleep, clean air, nature, stress reduction techniques such as meditation and relaxation activities, not smoking and not consuming alcohol in excess.  By physical activity we mean not living a sedentary (coach potato) life.  Exercise will vary according to people's age, needs, and health/fitness goals, but generally 20-60 minutes 3-5 days per week.

Nutrition is a very broad topic.  In general, Americans are consuming way too many processed foods and not enough fresh fruits and vegetables.  This is the leading cause of obesity and diabetes which affects 1 in 3 people in the USA. Even vegetarians who eat organic produce may have nutrient deficiencies due to the mineral depletion of our soil.  Natural supplements can help compensate for that and assist people to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.  Below is a list of common health concerns with corresponding natural supplement recommendations.  Each recommendation is a hyperlink which will take you to a specific product on Amazon.

Please note that with naturopathic medicine, there is no magic bullet or quick fix, we need to find and treat the cause of the condition.  Therefore, these homeopathic and herbal supplement suggestions are simply general ideas of safe products to try but they are not intended as an alternative to seeking competent medical care If you have a condition on this list and wish to take one of the remedies suggested, please have the product supervised and approved by your primary care provider prior to taking it.
