A qualified herbalist/phytotherapist will advise you to see your GP too, where appropriate, or suggest other treatment modalities that may help you - e.g. physiotherapy, massage, counselling. Enquiries are welcome from people with any condition.

Herbal medicine can also be a useful adjunct to other medical treatments or therapies - a herbalist can help you understand these treatments and support you in dealing with any side-effects, for example.  We are also trained to work effectively with other health care practitioners, and to ensure that any herbal remedies you take are safe alongside any medications or treatments your doctors prescribe for you.

More than anything else, however, herbal medicine is about supporting you on your journey to understand what your body needs to restore and maintain your health. It is not just about taking a remedy for a problem.

Why not just buy the remedy I need from a shop?
