Herbal medicine approaches
Herbal medicine has played a major role in treatment and prevention of disease throughout all of human history. From the ancient scholars of history, through the witches and apothecaries of history and up to forming the basis for the modern practice of clinical medicine we see today.
Modern herbal medicine practice is designed to compliment conventional medicine. Our understanding of clinical practices, pathological processes and pharmaceutical drugs, married with our systemic approach and personalised treatment plans allows herbalists to gain a deeper understanding of the individual’s needs.
Herbal medicine invites the individual to take a role in their own healing process. By explaining the approach and direction of the treatment plan, and the mechanisms at work, you will gain a deeper engagement with your treatment and become proactively involved in your own effective healing in the treatment of a wide range of ailments and disease.
Is Herbal Medicine right for you?
Herbal medicine is used effectively in the treatment of all many kinds of ailments. We take detailed case and past medical histories, gather lifestyle and diet information and, where appropriate, conduct clinical examination. Taking all of these points into consideration, we then create effective treatment strategies which involve you in your own healing journey.
This could involve
prescription of whole plant or plant part extracts in the form of tinctures, teas, hydrosols or topical preparations
dietary and lifestyle advice
referral for further tests or medical investigations if necessary
