Tim provides consultations for patients to receive herbal medicine at The Whalley Range Green Man Practice and at Milton Hall, Deansgate, Central Manchester.
Welcome
We have been harnessing the healing powers of plants for many thousands of years. From our earliest ancestors and ancient civilisations, down through mediaeval medicine and the folk cures of our grandparents, this heritage has developed and grown.
Modern Herbal Medicine combines this traditional knowledge with contemporary holistic medicine, giving an approach to healing and health that is gentle, natural and sustainable. Offering health solutions that are complementary too orthodox treatments, as well as combating stress, promoting performance and aiding in maintaining health, immunity and wellbeing.
As we continue to research and discover more about these amazing medicines we in turn contribute to and develop this living tradition.
As a Medical Herbalist, Tim Moorhouse uses this approach during consultations at his practices in Whalley Range and central Manchester, to create unique herbal remedies to promote your health and wellbeing. He also introduces people to the plants and to Herbal Medicine through his Herb Walks and Talks.
Who Can Benefit From Herbal Medicine?
Medical Herbalists are able to work with people of all ages and with those already receiving orthodox treatments. By choosing herbs that will not interact with these medicines and, where appropriate, by developing working relationship with other medical professionals, they are able to ensure that their treatments are complementary and safe.
Many people also benefit from the Herbalists approach to maintaining health and wellbeing, supporting them to perform at their best in stressful lives.

What Can Be Helped By Herbal Medicine?
As a Medical Herbalist I have seen a wide range of conditions which have generally responded well to herbs. I also work with people who may not have specific conditions who are wanting to maintain their health or deal with stress.
About Tim
Tim Moorhouse qualified with a first class honours degree in Herbal Medicine from the University of Central Lancashire and is also a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH).
He has been fascinated by healing from an early age and this initially led him to become a Counsellor in 1994. Following many years working in the NHS, and while still continuing his counselling practice, he decided to follow his dream of becoming a herbalist and began his official studies.
His interest in herbal medicine is wide ranging, from researching herb drug interactions for his dissertation, to exploring the debate around the use of fresh or dried plant materials in medicine making.
In his work with patients he brings dedication to providing excellence in diagnosis and treatment, as well as a wealth of experience and skills in working with emotional and psychological wellbeing.
He believes that many of the medicines that we need are growing all around us, and is committed to gathering and producing many of the herbs in the teas and tinctures used in his practice.
He enjoys working with a wide range of people and welcomes all ages, genders, races, sexualities and abilities to his practices in Whalley Range and central Manchester.
Testimonials
“Many years ago due to poor health I consulted a medical herbalist which I found very helpful with most of my symptoms being either eradicated or relieved. Therefore, last year, struggling again with exhaustion, pain, sleeplessness, indigestion and bowel problems, I contacted Tim Moorhouse for advice.
Tim took a very detailed medical and personal history, and then discussed his plan of action with me. Since then, alongside my existing NHS prescriptions, I have taken various tinctures, powders and teas, and used oils and herbs externally, as prescribed by Tim. These have been regularly monitored and adjusted by Tim, in discussion with myself.
Today, I am very happy to report that my symptoms have improved dramatically. I have learned when and how to use the various prescriptions and this has given me far more control over my body and my life.
Very recently, following a distressing injury, my pain again became unbearable. I sent Tim a SOS; he contacted me, discussed various options, then dispensed medicine immediately, so that I could begin treatment the same day. Amazingly, after only 3 doses, I was able to report back to Tim that the agonising pain had stopped.
Of all my problems, the most stunning improvement has been pain control. This has enabled me to reduce drastically my intake of conventionally prescribed heavy duty painkillers. I look and feel much better and am more alert. The other symptoms have variously reduced or stopped.
Tim is a good listener and imparts his knowledge professionally and with gentle humour.
Thanks Tim!”
Vanessa F. Sale, Cheshire.
