Revitalizing herbal medicine in the Black Hills

At Black Hills Botanicals it is our life’s work to take a new approach to an ancient form of wisdom.

We believe that herbal medicine is much more than “take this herb for that condition.” Instead, it is our goal to use a whole understanding of whole people and whole plants to find whole solutions. We specialize in working with people who suffer from the affects of chronic stress and the myriad imbalances that go along with that stress. Digestive issues, cognitive impairment, immune deficiency, excess inflammation, and adrenal fatigue are just a few examples of the various complications that can be linked to chronic stress in some way.

Through a variety of clinical consultations we can take a deep dive into your unique situation, looking for the underlying causes of your stress and other ailments while also assessing the ways in which your capacity to handle that stress may have been compromised. We seek not to simply help you eliminate symptoms, but rather, to identify unnecessary stressors and to support the body’s vital intelligence in reharmonizing the entire system. Stress is something we all experience, and it is often complicated. However, it can be managed and even turned to our benefit if we learn how to bring it into the conversation instead of fighting it all the time.

Our state of health is a language. That language comes as a crying plea for attention when we are under excessive pressure for long periods of time. At Black Hills Botanicals we work to translate that plea into terms you can truly understand. We further translate the language of health into the language of plants, creating informed recommendations for herbal preparations, supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments that help to not only ease the current stress load, but also strengthen your adaptive capacity and support a better stress response.

We don’t simply want to take away the stress so that you can handle more and more and more and more, until you finally collapse. Rather, we are looking to help your stress response be more flexible, and more clear in its implications. When we have a healthy relationship with stress it no longer remains the villain of the story, but instead, becomes an ally that has your back and wants the best for you. This all comes from learning how to communicate in the proper language, and this is what we aim for at Black Hills Botanicals. Above all, we hope you leave your consultations with a deep sense of understanding regarding your life and your state of wellness.
