Best Of 2011: Holistic Practitioner: Valerie Blankenship
Over 23 years, Valerie Blankenship has transformed her once-simple herb shop into a full-service business, featuring her work as a clinical herbalist. For $60 to $110 per session, Blankenship will ask you questions, and check you for abnormalities that she says point to specific problems — say, a black tinge to the tongue, or white spots on the fingernails. Based on what she sees and hears, Blankenship concocts a special herbal tincture to treat your infected toe, your kidney stones and your allergies. Pretty cool. Alternately, you can just buy herbs or tinctures off the shelf at a really good price, as I did on my last visit. So far, my allergy-fighting tincture seems to be helping me battle ragweed. But Blankenship says her herbs are about more than treating a little sneezing. "The most important thing I can offer," she says, "is the ability to help people to balance their bodies, to balance their health." — J. Adrian Stanley
