About Us
Candice Davis DD is a Medical Herbalist, Nutritionist, and Health Minister. A Medical Herbalist is an herbalist who has had extensive clinical training in the field of making herbal medicines and applying herbal formulations to clients to facilitate in their health and wellness. Medical herbalists have a strong back ground in the Materia Medica (herbal encyclopedia). They need to have knowledge of contemporary health issues, as diagnosed by a Western medical/allopathic practitioner; in addition to knowing the standard pharmacopoeia to insure there will be no drug-herb interactions.

She has years of clinical experience and intense training in Chinese and Ayruveda herbal medicine from Greenfingers Herbal Medicine Clinic and School in Phoenix, Arizona.

During her stay in Asheville, she was often featured on the Dale Joyner Show Live on URTV--Asheville. On television she discussed health related issues with a segment called "Health From your Own Pot! Food is Your Medicine!" Candice believes that well-being is the predominant state of the body, and that "symptoms" are just an indicator of imbalance that can simply be allowed to correct itself with gentle guidance. She looks at what is going WELL within the whole person, in order to spark wellness within the parts—true Holistic Healing.
