Holistic veterinary medicine takes multiple approaches to prevent, diagnose, and treat the acute and chronic illnesses your pet may experience. Our goal is to promote self-healing, so our focus is always to provide support by helping to restore and establish optimal long-term health and wellness. I rely on the healing power of nature to provide a myriad of services designed to assist in developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapy, holistic wellness, chiropractic, and end-of-life support.

When we focus on healing and restoring the patient and instead of just correcting the disease, we have learned the power and value of using holistic medicinal practice. I chose to exclusively practice holistic veterinary medicine because I truly believe in focusing my efforts on treating the whole animal. There is a place for all types of medicine in the healing process, which is why I believe in using an integrated approach to medicine, involving holistic and conventional medicine.

Burdock root is a gentle acting medicinal plant used in Europe, Asia and the Americas. I thought it would be fun to explore the benefits of burdock.
