What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal medicine, quite simply, is the oldest and most natural form of medicine there is, with treatment based upon the use of herbal extracts in liquid, capsule or tablet form. Each prescription is tailor made for the individual patient. Herbal medicines dispensed by herbalists nowadays use herbal extracts that are made to UK GMP, which is the highest quality demanded of herbal extracts under European and UK legislation. Herbal medicine can be useful in the treatment of almost all ailments. If you have any questions about a specific ailment, then please call Stuart on 07802 408 146.
