About natural health
Natural health practitioners focus on food, herbs, lifestyle and the body's own rhythms. The field includes naturopaths, herbalists, Ayurvedic consultants and holistic nutritionists, as well as natural-food markets and apothecaries.
Consultations usually begin with a detailed conversation about diet, sleep, energy, stress and health history, then move to practical suggestions you can bring into daily life.
Choosing someone in Chicago
- Ask about their training and whether they're licensed where that applies (for example naturopathic doctors in some states).
- Tell them about any medications you take, since some herbs interact with them.
- Prefer practitioners who coordinate with your doctor.
