Paxherbals
Since their call emerged in 1990, Paxherbals has come a long way. It is important to follow how this call transformed into key visions, values and objectives for the organization. Paxherbals’ Learning Focus is the Integral Healing of Self and Society.
Paxherbals uses traditional medicine. “We believe that effective treatment requires you to first know the family background of the patient and their day-to-day environment. When they come into the clinic, patients are asked about what they do, how many children they have, and who they live with.
This differs from the orthodox approach to medical treatment which focuses solely on identifying symptoms and delivering diagnoses.”(Adodo, 2015).
