Pillars of Health
Nutrition
Evidence shows that a whole food plant-based diet is the most beneficial way to prevent, treat and reverse chronic disease.
Sleep and Rest
Regular rest and quality sleep helps the body repair damage, replenish its vitality, and integrate new experiences and information.
Movement
Any kind of movement done regularly that stretches, strengthens, and challenges the physical tissues of the body can support longevity.
Hygiene
Routine practices that tend to cleanliness and organization are sources of stability as well as prevention against decay and disorder.
Harm Reduction
While it is impossible to avoid all harm, the body, mind, and spirit benefit from minimizing toxicities.
Connection to Nature
Situating ourselves in resonance with natural forces creates a sense of belonging that satisfies deep human needs.
Relationships
Recognition that our own experience is inextricably tied to other organisms, people, culture, memories, etc. can offer perspective for growth and change.
Stewardship and Service
Our own health and that of future generations is dependent on the well-being of our planet and our communities.
humanism
THERE IS INHERENT VALUE IN LIFE
We challenge the idea that health and healing are commodities to be consumed.
We actively resist the pathologizing of people as they face challenges or meet opportunities for growth. People are inherently whole and deserve to be understood as such.
Our clinical decision making is guided by the medical ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-malfeasance, and justice.
access

community
WE ARE ALL CONNECTED
Beyond their practice, the Tulsi Team is invested in educational programming that supports strong community networks and access to reliable information that furthers the development of medicine and health care.
We are working to address public health issues in order to overcome structural injustices that impact health for women and communities across generations. This is especially evident in their incorporation of Environmental Medicine into their clinic care.
ethics
GIVE MORE TO GET MORE
Ethical issues in the herbal supplement manufacturing include the quality of herbal material, the manufacturing process of prepared remedies, and the fair wages of workers throughout the supply chain. She investigates, to the best of her ability, how any recommended remedies were grown, harvested, prepared, formulated, packaged, and shipped.
Any inorganic materials used in the apothecary are carefully chosen to minimize ecological burden. She is committed to reducing exposure to toxic chemicals that tend to accumulate throughout the supply chain.
The herbal products she stocks and recommends are made from organic, non-genetically-modified (non-GMO), wild-crafted, regenerative, or biodynamic sources. She focuses on herbs and remedies that can be found in regional habitats, that grow in abundance, or grown sustainably on local farms or in nurseries. Her apothecary also includes key Ayurvedic and Chinese herbs from non-local sources.
