Welcome everyone to the very first podcast of Functional Herbal Medicine! We are excited to launch a new conversation around health and wellness.
FHM is a specific method of practice to address not only the symptoms of "disease" but to address the underlying cause. This approach helps to reach optimal health and increase overall vitality. FHM draws on many ancient methods of practice used by traditional medicine workers and applies the scientific method to bridge the gap between these two worlds.
In this podcast we discuss: what brought Kristin and David in to herbal medicine, what is FHM, the core principles and a brief overview of the 12 core strategies.
