What is herbal medicine?
Herbal medicine, or Phytotherapy, is the oldest form
of medicine known. The modern medical herbalist is a natural physician trained in medical sciences and traditional herbal
practices.
Herbal medicines are whole-plant extracts containing many active constituents which act synergistically
to support the body's own complex ability to heal itself. Herbal medicine, unlike conventional medicine, does not only treat
symptoms, but targets the underlying causes of ill-health.Every prescription is individually tailored to the particular physical,
emotional and spiritual needs of a person.
Herbs are effective in the treatment of both acute and chronic health conditions,
and are suitable for all ages.
