How Herbalism Can Improve Your Health with Herbalist and Nutritionist Carmen Adams

Why are herbs used in so many cultures throughout history?  What is it about them that helps our health?  How do they complement modern medicine?   We explored this topic of herbalism as an alternative option for a variety of health conditions for this week’s episode of the Weekend Wellness Hour Show.  Joining us was Registered Herbalist-(AHG), Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Teacher, Researcher, Iridologist and Natural Health Advocate, Carmen Adams who has a practice in Las Vegas, Nevada.   Carmen shared with us her background that led to the study of herbalism and nutrition.  She became her own first client and solved several of her own health issues.   We touched on what herbalism is and how it can be used in conjunction with modern Western medicine to help boost a person's health and possibly reduce medication use.  She cautioned that she works alongside your physician's to provide the best supplements for your unique needs.   Carmen explained the different types of ways we can take in herbs from teas, to capsules to tinctures and more.  She tailors the method based on each person and their preferences.   We discussed various conditions in which a person would benefit from an evaluation and possible herbals including cardiac conditions, diabetes, and thyroid conditions. She even explained how most people who work with her have fatigue as the main complaint.    She named a couple common herbs that have become quite popular, but she warns that too much of an herb can be detrimental to the health. For instance, she explained that turmeric is also a blood thinner which can have repercussions on certain medical conditions.      Carmen is a Registered Herbalist-(AHG), Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Teacher, Researcher, Iridologist and Natural Health Advocate.
