What it is
Herbal medicine uses plants and plant preparations to restore and maintain health. Plants contain active compounds, so they can interact with medicines and may not suit everyone. We consider your history and current medicines before suggesting anything.
Who it may suit
- People interested in plant-based treatment as part of a wider plan
- People who would like their herbal use to be guided and reviewed
What to expect
- A discussion of what you already use, including any herbal products
- Guidance on what is suggested and why
- Advice on what to watch for and when to stop and contact us
Important: Please tell us about every medicine, herb and supplement you take, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding, so that we can decide what is safe for you. Do not stop or change a prescribed medicine on your own.
