western herbal medicine

The most universal and oldest form of medicine known to mankind. A herbal prescription is based on the traditional uses as well as the ever increasing scientific research and data available on herbs.

Classic herbal medicine utilises the Hippocratic principles of treating the person not the disease, evaluating the whole lifestyle as well as the emotional and environmental influences on each patient not just the physical symptoms.

The use of herbs can be as teas, tinctures, fluid extracts, creams, pessaries or tablets and a herbal prescription may contain one or a combination of herbs prescribed to address the individual patients needs. Some Ayurvedic and Chinese herbs are also used in our dispensary.
