About Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is one of the most ancient forms of treatment known and the medicinal use of plants is common to all cultures and peoples of the world. Herbal medicine works by supporting the body to restore and maintain a healthy balance, and may provide long-term relief from both physical and mental disorders. In Britain we have a rich tradition of Western Herbalism and the books of Herbalists such as Culpeper from the 1700s are still relevant today.
Herbs are usually prescribed as tinctures (based in alcohol), though may also be prescribed as teas, capsules and creams or in non-alcoholic form (aromatic water, glycerites). These are sourced from certified herbal medicine suppliers in the UK and are organic where possible. Tinctures tend to be a blend of 2-7 different herbs made to a personal prescription.
