Where Have All the Healers Gone?
Karen Mallinger is the new featured Herbalist in the "Ask the Herbalist" column at Herbnet.com
(PRWEB) July 14, 2004 -- What would cause well-educated, mainstream Americans
to flock to alternative web sites, health food stores and nontraditional
practitioners in numbers not seen since the 60’s?
Disillusioned by
mainstream medicine’s apparent inability to provide healthy, long-term solutions
for ailments without introducing new and harmful side effects, conscientious
patients are heading in droves to alternative solutions and practitioners for
advice, extracts, tinctures and teas to help them achieve a state of wellness
that is seemingly unavailable in their local doctors’ offices.
At least
that’s been the experience of Karen Mallinger, the newly featured Herbalist in
the “Ask the Herbalist” column of www.Herbnet.com. Karen has been studying herbs for over twelve
years and runs an online business, www.allgoodegifts.com, out
of her home in Niagara Falls, New York, that provides all natural, custom-made
personal care products, culinary products, medicinal teas and holistic products
for pets.
In a recent interview with Herbworld’s Maureen Rogers, Karen
speculated about the reasons for the rise in traffic to the site. “Most of the
questions I get are extremely detailed. Things I think people are nervous or
embarrassed about discussing face to face with their doctors. Also, I get lots
of e-mails from people who are just plain frustrated with mainstream medicine’s
approach to healing. My calling is to help people make an informed choice that
will not only treat the symptoms they are experiencing, but lead them down the
path to total wellness without the side effects of
pharmaceuticals.”
Whatever it is, it must be working. According to
Maureen Rogers, the traffic to the “Ask the Herbalist” site is heavier than it’s
ever been. In addition, e-mails come in from all over the world; India, Jordan,
Israel, Africa, Europe, Australia and the Middle East.
“I just think
people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. I offer them an alternative
that allows them to maintain their confidentiality and anonymity. All of my
products are homemade in small batches to ensure the highest quality control. I
use pure organic herbs in everything I make and provide them at a reasonable
cost. I also do custom formulations for people, taking into consideration their
preferences, medications, and allergies if any.”
For personal answers to
your natural health questions, you can contact Karen via her website at www.allgoodegifts.com, where a treasure trove of natural and
healthful products can be found and custom blending is the norm, or by e-mail at
e-mail protected from spam bots.
