What Is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal Medicine is the use of plant remedies in the treatment of disease. It is the oldest form of medicine known, and is the origin of modern medicine. Today 75% of the world’s population still depend on plants as their main source of medicine. There is a growing body of scientific research and information regarding the therapeutic effectiveness of plant remedies that supports many of their traditional uses.

Medical Herbalists are trained in medical sciences and diagnostic techniques and combine elements of traditional herbal practice with the latest discoveries in scientific research.

As holistic therapists, herbalists do not treat the disease the person has, but rather the person who has the disease. As well as using herbs to relieve symptoms the herbalist will look to identify and treat the root cause of the illness. Treatment is individually tailored to each patient’s needs.
