Why You Should Hire A Herbalist For Women's Health
Are you wondering what an herbalist really does?
And, can they really help you?
In this post, I'll share how I learned herbal medicine, who I studied with, and what I specialize in so you can decide where to go when you're seeking an alternative treatment.
Let's get started.
So, how do you find an herbalist?
Herbalist near me
Google would be the first place to search. However, many herbalists take sessions virtually or even offer online education.
I would write down your symptoms, and what type of teacher you're seeking and ask for a referral from friends.
If you meet with an acupuncturist, they may also be able to guide you toward herbal remedies.
Herbalist certification
There are so many amazing master herbalists to study from. Here are some of my teachers
My training began at the Open Center in NYC with Peeka Trenkle. I learned about herbal medicine and homeopathy through her in-person workshops: https://www.opencenter.org/meet-the-teacher-peeka-trenkle/
I learned alternatives to antibiotics with Robin Rose Bennett: https://www.robinrosebennett.com/
My women's health go-to is Dr. Aviva Romm. I completed the very intense Herbal Medicine for Women's Health, as well as her children's health courses. You can learn more here: https://avivaromm.com/courses/herbal-medicine-for-women/

What is a women's herbal educator?
It's a certification through Dr. Aviva Romm covering all herbal remedies from menarche to menopause.

Why do you use herbal medicine?
Your medications are affecting your gut health. When your gut health is affected, your whole immune system can change.
Even though this post is for children's health, it explains why I love herbal and homeopathic medicine.https://taragregorio.com/why-natural-remedies-are-perfect-for-kids/
What happens in a health consultation with Tara?
We discuss your sleep, any changes in your cycle, your diet, supplements, and any new stressors at home.
I inquire about your #1 symptoms and each week we look at different suggestions to get to the root cause of this.
I ask you to write down a 3-day diet. And, send me pictures of the supplements you are currently taking.
You may also want to have blood work done and get tested for the MTHFR gene. Many of my clients have one or two of the SNPs affecting their ability to detoxify.
I offer a 30-day transformational package. This includes 3 private, virtual sessions and 30 days of unlimited support.
After each session, you'll receive a detailed email with my suggestions.
You can choose what herbs to purchase based on my suggestions.
