What is Herbal Medicine?
Herbal Medicine is the practice of using plants in a wholistic manner to treat and prevent disease. Emphasis is placed on nutrition and lifestyle advice.

Herbal Medicine seeks primarily to correct internal imbalances rather than to treat symptoms alone. It encourgaes this self healing process by nurturing and promoting the body's natural energy. Herbs can directly encourage the function of particular organs or systems in the body such as the liver or the immune system.

Herbal Medicine is one of the most ancient systems of medicine and is still the main medthod of medical treatment for up to 80% of the world's population.

Chinese Herbal Medicine uses a deep understanding of the elements of nature to harmonise and remove toxins and blockages. It also aims at strenthening weak areas by increasing the body's own vital energy (Qi).

When used by an experienced and qualified practitioner herbal medicine is a safe and effective means of treatment.
