why visit a herbalist

Nasturtium : Tropaeolum majus
  What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal Medicine is the oldest form of medicine and it is used by over 75% of the world's population.

Herbal Medicine has the backing of an enormous body of scientific research plus the observation and experience of generations of traditional medicine, over thousands of years.

The World Health Organisation encourages herbal medicine because it is inexpensive, effective and accessible.

 



Calendula : Calendula officinalis
  Why Herbal Medicine?

Herbal Medicine fills a gap in conventional medical treatment because sometimes it is only the subtle complex of chemicals found in plants which can meet the needs of patients and help to restore them to health.

Herbal Medicine uses the whole plant (not isolated constituents) to help the body heal itself. The compounds work with the body to promote healing and to treat the underlying causes of a condition instead of treating the symptoms alone.
