Herbal Medicine

Our team of herbalists are highly qualified and work as an interactive team, exchanging views and developing knowledge about appropriate aspects of their work. This helps to ensure a dynamic and well-informed approach to your treatment.

All our herbalists are members of either the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH) or of the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy (CPP). Both of these bodies are accountable to the European Herbal Practitioners Association.

Medical herbalists use the same diagnostic processes as those in orthodox medicine but take a more holistic approach, aiming for a total healing of the person from the root level rather than simply treating individual symptoms.

What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal medicine, not to be confused with homeopathy, has been used for over 4,000 years and is the forefather of orthodox medicine as we know it today. The main difference is that, where orthodox medicine chemically reconstructs single elements within a plant, herbalists continue to adhere to the philosophy that the synergy of the whole plant is more effective than any one isolated constituent. Herbal medicines rarely produce the kind of unwanted side effects that can be caused by orthodox medicines and in most cases can work alongside orthodox medicines in a supportive role.
