Herbal medication is used to maintain and/or improve health the natural way. It is
affordable and does generally not have as much side effects as chemically formulated
medication. Amongst its natural healing qualities, it contains no artificial flavours,
colourants or preservatives.
Yes, some herbal medication can cause an interaction with some pharmaceutical
medication. It can also make the pharmaceutical medication less effective. Always read the
cautions of each product, and talk to your doctor if in doubt.
Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources that provide further health benefits
beyond that found in our food due to concentration and combinations. They are used to
control symptoms, prevent chronic disease, support the structure and function of the body,
and manage specific underlying conditions. Nutraceuticals can come in the form of isolated
nutrients, dietary supplements, herbal products, and targeted nutrition programs.
Quality is extremely important when choosing nutraceuticals. It’s very difficult to determine
the quality of the product based only on the label. The quality of control in production relies
entirely on the manufacturer. Different batches can even be sold under the same label while
being produced in entirely different factories. This is why it’s really important to only
purchase nutraceuticals from reputable manufacturers, such as Dr. Aucamp’s Health Clinic,
and avoid purchasing supplements at most drug or grocery stores.
