What is Herbal Medicine?
Herbal Medicine is a system of traditional healing which uses plants in the treatment of ill health and has been used effectively all over the world for thousands of years. Even today 80% of the world's population relies on local plants rather than pharmaceutical drugs for medicine. 
 
Rigorous Training Modern herbalists undergo a rigorous four-year training which includes diagnosis, physical examination and nutrition, as well as botany and plant pharmacy. We know which plants to use safely in any given circumstances and are aware of possible interactions between herbs and prescribed medicines.
