WHAT DO WE TREAT?

Herbal medicine can be successfully used to treat both chronic and acute conditions such as headaches, coughs and colds. It is also used to support conventional treatment from heart surgery and cancer treatment, to assist in tackling addictions such as smoking, or simply to promote better health.

Herbal medicine is suitable for all age groups, from babies and young children to the teenagers, adults and the elderly. It provides gentle, safe and effective treatment largely avoiding the unwanted side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. As one of the keystones of holistic health treatment is to look carefully at the symptom pattern and causes of illness in each individual patient so there are no ‘standard prescriptions’ for particular conditions. The herbal medicines prescribed are often in the form of an alcohol-based liquid called a tincture. Alternatively fresh juices or syrups or dried herbs to be made into teas may be prescribed. Capsules, tablets and creams are also used.
