Herbs and Supplements in Holistic Healing
Herbs, supplements, and targeted dietary changes have been used for centuries across cultures to support both physical and emotional health. In our integrative psychiatric and medical program, we view these natural interventions not as alternative, but as complementary tools that can work in harmony with conventional approaches to promote deep and lasting healing.

The Role of Diet, Detoxification, and Herbal Medicine
Modern research confirms what traditional medicine systems have long known: nutrition and detoxification are foundational to well-being. Dietary adjustments and the removal of accumulated toxins—especially heavy metals—can play a pivotal role in healing both emotional distress and chronic medical conditions.
Herbs are highly effective in the treatment of psychiatric and chronic health issues. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, which typically contain a single active compound, most medicinal herbs contain multiple biologically active constituents that act synergistically. This often results in broader therapeutic effects with fewer side effects or toxicities.
However, because herbs are pharmacologically active, they must be used, carefully, especially in combination with prescription medications. We work closely with each patient to ensure that any herbs or supplements are appropriate, safe, and integrated thoughtfully into their personalized treatment plan.
Orthomolecular Psychiatry:
Targeted Nutrient Therapy
Orthomolecular medicine is a powerful therapeutic approach that focuses on optimizing the internal biochemical environment of the brain and body. This means providing cells with ideal levels of substances that are normally present—such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and antioxidants—while removing substances that disrupt function, such as heavy metals, toxins, and allergens.
Orthomolecular psychiatry emerged in the 1970s through the pioneering work of Drs. Abraham Hoffer, Carl C. Pfeiffer, David R. Hawkins, and Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling. These visionary physicians demonstrated that targeted nutrient therapy could significantly improve outcomes in conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and ADHD.
Although many double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have validated aspects of orthomolecular treatment, it remains outside the mainstream of conventional psychiatry. Nonetheless, this evidence-based approach continues to offer real hope to those suffering from treatment-resistant conditions.
