Why visit a herbalist?

0 Western Medical Herbalism, administered by qualified practitioners, is really safe and effective, with rare side-effects.  It may be taken alongside orthodox drugs, or used as a valuable alternative.

0  There is more to herbalism than herbs alone.  Medical Herbalism is a holistic therapy, which means that not only will the herbalist consider you as a whole person, exploring every angle of your health, but also, herbalists are qualified to advise on other aspects of your treatment, such as nutrition (in fact this is an important aspect of treatment) and stress relief.

0 Herbal medicine can often reduce your need of orthodox drugs and thus reduce harmful side-effects.

0  By exploring and treating the underlying causes of disease, Medical herbalists will not only reduce your symptoms, but they can help also you overcome, or gain long term improvement, for your condition.

0  Herbalists are trained to degree level in the orthodox medical sciences.  They are happy to treat any condition you would take to your GP, and they are trained to refer you on for further investigation where necessary.

0  Herbalists work holistically, so every aspect of your health will be taken into account, including your nutritional status and lifestyle.

0  You will be really listened to and treatment will be tailored specifically to your personal needs.
