Herbal medicine

Herbal medicine combines the knowledge of traditional plant remedies with modern medical science.

It has been used for thousands of years to restore good health. Today most of the world’s population still rely on medicines derived from plants. About 25% of all drugs currently prescribed by doctors were originally derived from plants.

The herbal medicine prescribed for you can be in the form of a tincture (a combination of herbs in a small amount of alcohol), tea, capsule, powder or a lotion or cream for applying to your skin. We can also offer tinctures using glycerine rather than alcohol if required.

We are all unique individuals and therefore nobody’s prescriptions are exactly the same. Whole parts of the plant such as leaves, berries or roots are used to make you a ‘balanced’ natural remedy. The plant parts chosen aim to stimulate or strengthen your body’s normal functions and help your body heal itself.
