What to know about Black Clinical Herbalism care
Clinical herbalists provide herbal medicine consults grounded in both traditional knowledge and modern pharmacology. Black clinical herbalists often integrate African, Caribbean, and African American herbal traditions, knowledge that has been systematically undervalued in mainstream medicine. Herbalism is not regulated uniformly in the U.S.; credentials vary (AHG Registered Herbalist, clinical programs from CSCA, Wellspring, Sacred Vibes). Always share herbal plans with your primary care physician. Many herbs interact with medications.
