Functional Aromatherapy
® vs Functional Medicine
To understand Functional Aromatherapy®, first it’s important to understand what Functional Medicine is.
Functional Medicine is when a Physicians doesn’t just treat the symptoms, they look at the root cause of a disease THEN treat the symptoms.
Example: If you have high blood pressure, a more commonly practiced course of treatment would be a pharmaceutical drug thrown at it. A Functional Medicine doctor wants to know the core of WHY your blood pressure is high, and will typically treat the case differently based on the person’s unique makeup by doing special testing to see why it is high. Then give a treatment to your specific needs.
A Functional Medicine doctor’s main goal is to get you and keep you in a state of homeostasis, aka keeping your body and all its functions in balance.
At Faeve, we use the term Functional Aromatherapy® to explain how we handle Aromatic and Herbal Medicine. Functional Aromatherapy® using aromatic and herbal medicine to support treatment of the root causes of your health issues.
