Herbal medicine is the use of plant material for a therapeutic effect in the body. Pharmacognosy is the study of constituents and pharmacology is the study of the application of constituents and the body's reactions to them. Herbal Medicine has a definite scientific basis and much recent research including clinical studies demonstrating its validity. It is a growing industry which is proving its value alongside orthodox medicine.

Herbal medicines can be purchased in the form of liquid extracts, tinctures, capsules, tablets and raw plant material used to make decoctions and infusions. Centuries ago herbs were utilised for their empirical use by medical physicians. Traditionally plants have been used to assist the body in healing itself. Certain actions were attributed to plants and these were taken for the desired effect during illness. Today, science has been able to better understand the chemistry of plants, their mechanism of action and therefore interactions that may occur when taken with pharmaceutical drugs.

The Herbal Clinic  The Clinic provides private consultations with a Registered Herbalist who will address your symptoms and the underlying cause of a disorder rather than treat a disease with a standard protocol. The treatment plan is holistic and therefore specific to you. No two clients receive the same herbal formulation.

Herbal Medicine is prescribed and dispensed to you in the form of liquid tinctures/extracts allowing flexibility in the formulation. Diet and lifestyle factors relating to your health issues will also be discussed during consultation.  Read more..
