Herbal medicine has been used safely and effectively throughout the world for thousands of years and modern Medical Herbalists, with the benefits of scientific research as well as a wealth of traditional knowledge, bring this tradition into the 21st century.

Medical herbalists are trained to degree level in the orthodox medical sciences as well as nutrition and clinical examination skills, and they are able to offer really safe and effective treatment for most conditions. Herbalists are happy to work independently or alongside your doctor, often reducing the need for prescription drugs.

The real strengths of Medical Herbalism lie in the compatibility of herbal constituents with the human body and the holistic style of treatment.

This means that herbalists will always explore and address the underlying causes of your condition, as well as the symptoms, as we believe this is the only way to really overcome disease and regain good health.  Herbs and nutrition will be used to strengthen and support your own healing mechanisms as well as to address symptoms.

Herbs are extremely safe in the hands of a qualified practitioner and side effects are very rare and short lasting.
