Herbal Medicine

Herbs have been used for medicinal purposes by various cultures and traditions for thousands of years and continues to be one of the most popular complementary therapies.

Disease, disorders or illnesses result from or are made worse by imbalances within a person’s body. The practice of herbal medicine aims to restore these imbalances by adopting a holistic approach to treatment. This involves, not just simply prescribing herbal remedies, but also taking into account all aspects of a person’s wellbeing including their mental, emotional and physical state.

Herbal medicine is used to treat a wide range of diseases including:

  • Arthritis
  • Eczema
  • Fibroids
  • Hay fever
  • Insomnia
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Menstrual irregularities
  • Stress

Under the supervision of a Medical Herbalist, herbal medicine can be used alongside conventional medicine in the majority of cases.
