ANNA-MARIJA HELT, PH.D.
CLINICAL HERBALIST MICROBIOLOGIST OSADHA NATURAL HEALTH
Herbalism involves more than herbs. Botanical support is part of a larger approach to wellness that involves a healthy approach to living, eating, and rest. All of these areas are considered during an herbal consultation — all in a plan specifically crafted for you — whether your goal is simply to feel better or to get support in a more focused area.
Anna spends as much time reducing the number of supplements folks are taking when they come in as she does in laying out a way forward for them. She is a believer in “more is not better” when it comes to herbs and supplements. Most of her clients are on 1 herb formula. Some are on 2. It’s rare that we go beyond that for the herbs. There may be some nutritional supplementation involved, but this is very focused. She has found ‘simple’ to be an effective approach most of the time, especially when working with someone already taking pharmaceutical medications. Listen to Anna Maria Heldt's interview

Opioid Awareness Guide Chronic Pain -Safer Solutions
by Leaf 411 and Radicle Health
CBD and CBG are a wonderful, non-psychoactive place to begin managing chronic pain and many other health issues. We have selected a short list of Medical Grade- Hemp derived products that we recommend. They are optimal and meet our rigorous standards-and easily purchased online by clicking on the links above. Whole Plant Cannabis derived products are worth considering also.
Some THC along with CBD can also be very beneficial in pain management and other health concerns. Products with more THC can be found at your local dispensaries and availability of specific brands vary by location. Low doses can be effective and have minimal psychoactivity. Consider scheduling a consultation, product evaluation or becoming a member to access more in-depth information and guides.
Holistic approaches that combine diet and lifestyle changes will greatly improve the effectiveness of cannabinoids for any health condition such as arthritis, Chron’s, cancer etc.
“Those who are most successful in using cannabis to improve or to replace opioid drugs always use a combination of pharmacologic and behavioral interventions. No medication is powerful enough to accomplish this goal on its own. By prioritizing and organizing the proper resources for sleep, exercise, counseling, support groups, and social support, you can ensure your success!”, Dr. Sulak.
