Most people are unaware that Herbal medicine is the main form of medicine used in over 80% of the worlds population. Science is continually trying to identify the chemical make up of plants but in most cases the complexity of the plant kingdom still evades the limited techniques modern science has to offer.
Medical Herbalists are trained in the same diagnostic skills as orthodox doctors but take an holistic approach to illness and patient care. Herbalists do not treat the disease the person has, but the person who has the disease. We aim to identify the underlying cause of the problem and then address this, rather than any symptoms patients may have.
Many of the pharmaceutical drugs used today are based on plant constituents and new drugs today are still being derived from the plant world. The pharmaceutical industry identify and artificially synthesize single constituents in plants which they believe may work, and reproduce these on a large scale. The important difference is that our herbal medicines are extractions of part of the whole plant (flowers, leaves, berries, roots) and contain hundreds or even thousands of plant constituents that work in harmony.
