The US currently has no licensing policy in regards to Herbal Medicine, and I, a Clinical Herbalist, Debra Swanson, am not a licensed medical doctor. I do not deal with drugs, nor do I issue a diagnosis or suggest cures. My purpose is to educate my client and his or her body as to healing by natural processes. I consider herbs and foods to be nutritional assets to health and it is in this way that I offer my advice. Although I personally believe herbs to be a part of good health care, I make no claims for their medicinal actions. Any information offered is done so on the basis of research and scientific evidence and traditional uses.
