Herbal medicine treatment is holistic in its approach to health
Modern herbal medicine combines thousands of years of traditional knowledge with the latest scientific research on how medicinal plants affect our body.
Herbal medicine is the oldest of all healing systems and continues to offer us both safe and highly effective plant remedies.
Herbal medicine treatment is holistic in its approach to health, that is why all plant medicines prescribed are tailored to each individual. They affect numerous body systems and are able to both fight disease (symptoms and root cause), and promote longevity.

In the UK we are privileged to have high quality producers of specialised herbal medicine products for herbalists to custom blend in clinic.
Plant based medicines are prepared from plant parts such as leaves, flowers or roots, which all possess different medicinal uses due to their varied chemical constituents.
Each medicinal plant contains hundreds of active phytochemicals, which distinguishes them from nutritional supplements or pharmaceutical drugs, which tend to contain only one active ingredient.

Professionally prescribed herbal medicine is safe and can be used on its own or alongside pharmaceutical medication
Herbalists are trained, amongst other things, in pharmacology, biomedicine, and possible herb drug interactions to ensure safe use of herbal medicine.
Consulting a professional herbalist is safer and more cost effective than self-medicating with over the counter preparations.
