Herbal Medicine

Valerie Thomas

Herbal medicine is the oldest form of healing known to humanity, using plant remedies to treat the whole person. There is a vast treasury of herbs available to us, from huge trees to delicate plants and mosses.

Medical herbalists are trained in the same diagnostic skills as orthodox doctors but use a more holistic approach, taking time to look for any underlying causes of illness.  Most herbal medicines are in the form of tinctures (alcoholic extracts), which are easy and convenient to take. Teas, pills and powders can also be prescribed.

The right selection of herbs can boost each person’s own healing mechanisms, strengthening the body and restoring harmony and health. This form of treatment is gentle, safe and effective. Herbalists are also trained to recognise conditions which should be treated by orthodox medicine and to refer appropriately.

Herbal medicine can help to improve digestion and circulation, increase immune system function, give you an increased ability to cope with stress and a better general sense of well-being.
