We all seem to be hearing a lot more lately about the benefits of botanical-based products and their health, wellness, and mental health benefits. The terms supplements, essential oils, herbs, vitamins and minerals are widely used terms, but not always correctly used terms. The Sterling Health Show on 1490 WGCH, the Greenwich AM radio show that we host weekly, clarified this with a phenomenal guest expert, Dr. Joe Feuerstein. Aside from directing Stamford Hospital’s Integrative Medicine program he also works with the Boyd Center for Integrative Medicine in Greenwich. His beautiful British accent was a definite plus. The good doc noted that his intrigue with this topic is not surprising since the British follow a European medical tradition which is historically less resistive to the non-traditional uses of varied types of botanicals and medicinals and this is actually taught in medical school. The trend is now also growing here in America. It made for a really interesting discussion. Check it out at the www.sterlingcare.com website!
