 The most ancient and natural form of healing known throughout all cultures, herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to procure health. Herbal medicine uses plant materials as powdered in capsules, extracts such as teas and tinctures or as creams, ointments and lotions.
A professional herbalist does not simply use herbs as substitutes for a chemical drug. Medical merbalism is a naturopathic and wholistic system of healing that will treat a person as a whole and will allow the body to heal itself. Herbal medicine in the hands of a skilled and properly qualified practitioner can restore health and help to regain that state of well-being which should be a normal part of life.
At The Herbal and Healing Clinic we take the time to speak with you to find out about your lifestyle, needs and symptoms. The first consultation lasts between an hour and 90 minutes; this is your opportunity to talk about any problems, however insignificant they may appear, because everything you tell your practitioner is important to diagnose your condition. We will then run several tests that will be used in the diagnosis including:
- Taking blood pressure
- Analysing a urine sample
- Physical examination
- Iridology analysis
- Kinesiology scan
- Full medical history taken
At the end, a diagnosis will be made and discussed with you. You will be given lifestyle suggestions, dietary advice, and of course your medicine.
After the initial consultation, a follow up consultation will be arranged about two weeks after the first to see how things are going. This will last about half an hour and further visits will probably be at monthly or longer intervals depending on your condition.
A chronic condition may take many months of treatment, but acute conditions will generally be cleared quickly. You will be closely supported and monitored and encouraged to maintain good health by lifestyle and dietary changes.
