Herbal Program
Common Ground Health Clinic
At long last, an updated version of our wish list! Thanks for your interest in and support of our clinic, and apologies for having such an outdated list posted for so long. As the clinic moves from a disaster-relief mode of operation into one that we hope will allow us to continue serving this community for many years to come, the herbal program has been undergoing many changes, some of which will affect the kinds of donations that will be the most helpful. Some things to keep in mind as far as donations are concerned:
We have created a materia medica of herbs and supplements that we use at the clinic. Although we will be adding herbs and supplements to the list on a consistent basis as our process here at the clinic continues, at this time we need only the herbs and supplements listed. By delineating which herbs we use, the herbalists and medical staff are better able to assess possible interactions between drugs and herbs, as most folks who seek our advice are taking pharmaceutical medications. Also, we will be able to ensure that all the herbs we receive will be used in a timely manner.
In our never-ending quest for better organization and efficient use of the donations folks send, we have found that pre-made formulas are harder to utilize. Therefore, we’re asking that bulk herbs and tinctures be of the “single herb” variety – no combinations, please! If you have a combo such as a salve or a tea that you think might be really great, contact us and we’ll talk.
Please make sure that, in addition to common names, botanical names are clearly written on the bag or bottle, as well as the date made for home-made tinctures, oils, etc.
At this time, we do not have a homeopath on staff. As none of the herbalists here on staff are committed students of homeopathy and tend to focus mostly on plant remedies, we ask that no homeopathic remedies be sent at this time.
Please check the expiration date on any pre-bottled herbal capsules or supplements you send. Health codes require that no expired products of any kind be on our shelves.
We appreciate so much the continued support of so many amazing herbalists and activists from around the country. This project is as much your labor of love as it is ours, and it would not be possible without you!
In peace and struggle,
the herbalists at cghc
