Should holistic health professionals prescribe nutritional products?
Yes. Most problems that holistic practitioners are called upon to treat tend to favor a protocol involving nutritional supplementation. For example, back pain can be ameliorated with prescribing the proper anti-inflamatories; nervous tension and stress can be effectively relieved with herbal carminatives; Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be addressed with a combination formula of fiber and herbal ingredients. The inclusion of nutritional supplementation not only adds an extra income stream to the practice but directly benefits his patients.
