Herbal medicine is the use of plant remedies in the treatment of disease, and is one of the oldest form of medicine known. Our ancestors, by trial and error, found the most effective local plants to heal their illnesses. Now, with the advancement of science enabling us to identify chemical constituents within these plants, we can better understand their healing powers.

Herbalism, in this country, is now classed as an ‘alternative’ or ‘complementary’ discipline but it is still the most widely practised form of medicine worldwide with over 80% of the world’s population relying on herbs for health. A medical herbalist attempts to find the underlying cause of the problem and it is this that is treated, rather than the symptoms alone. The reason for this is that treatment which suppresses symptoms will not rid the body of the disease itself. The first consultation, which usually lasts an hour will be spent in taking a detailed case history in order to build up a picture of the person as a whole being.

Herbal Medicine is a matter of teamwork with patient, practitioner and the prescribed treatment all working together to restore the body to health. Treatment may also include other therapies including advice about diet and lifestyle alongside herbal medicine.

Western herbal medicine can be used to treat all ages but is particularly effective for children where herbs work gently but efficiently and help to build up the immune system.
