This is a business that will assist cancer patients before, during, and after
chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or during the last days of their lives. Herbal Healing’s

who, instead of using addictive narcotics, choose to medicate through alternative
products provided at Herbal Healing’s.

Client/User information:
Elderly, Disabled, Senior Citizens, Cancer Patients and Individuals with Chronic Pain
will be our main focus. Herbal Healing’s will facilitate most everyone with proper
identification and medical documentation. We are here to provide an alternative to
conventional medications such as narcotics.

Alternative Medicine:
The treatment and prevention of disease by techniques that are regarded by modern
Western medicine as scientifically unproven or unorthodox. The term alternative
medicine can encompass a wide range of therapies, including chiropractic,
homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, meditation, biofeedback, massage therapy,
and various "new age" therapies such as guided imagery and naturopathy. Although
many alternative therapies have long been widely employed in the treatment of disease,
the scientifically oriented modern medical establishment has typically been skeptical
about, and sometimes strongly opposed to, their use. Despite this, Americans spend
billions of dollars on alternative treatments each year. In 1993 the U.S. National
Institutes of Health established the Office of Alternative Medicine to examine the merits
of such techniques.

General Information/Client Comments:

The establishment will have feng shui. Prospective clients and individual customers
should not feel as if they are doing something illegal. People will be curious about the
alternative medicines offered within this establishment. Our priority is the privacy of our
clientele, and their comfort. Potential customers and clientele may have terminal
illnesses, they may be elderly, etc.; and our objective is to give them the proper respect
and dignity they deserve. With our products and services, clients will have an
opportunity to feel better without the side- effects of conventional medicines.
Potential customers or clientele will have an opportunity to purchase medication,
meals, snacks and sweets made with marijuana. Customers can sit down inside the
dining area or out-side on the patio to consume their food products.
Décor must reflect a calm environment. The business will offer an array of smoking
paraphernalia suited for the needs of the customers and clientele. Therefore, no
distasteful posters or merchandise portraying the business as a means of recreational
solicitation.
There will be an outdoor dining area for customers to sit and enjoy their dining
experience. The conservation area will be kept clean for clientele and general
customers to relax and meditate during their visit to Herbal Healing’s.
