Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine, treating illnesses with plants, has been used since records began. People using herbal medicine do not usually suffer side effects, therefore it may be particularly beneficial to patients who have suffered adverse reactions to drugs or who may be taking one drug to counter another’s side effects. Herbal medicine is also suitable for children.
Medical Herbalists who are members of NIMH (the National Institute of Medical Herbalists) are trained to diagnose illness as a doctor would, but will use a different, holistic approach to treatment and try to help the body to cure itself of the underlying problem. Herbalists also know when it is best to refer a patient to other practitioners for treatment.
What happens at appointments?
At the first appointment, details of your current problem will be discussed, as well as taking a detailed medical history. The herbalist will also be interested in your diet and any medication that you are currently taking. Your blood pressure will be taken and if any other physical examination is appropriate, this will be performed if you agree.
A combination of herbs will be prepared according to what the herbalist feels you need. You will have another appointment after a couple of weeks to discuss the changes in your health once you have started taking the herbs. The third appointment is likely to be a month later. The number of appointments required will depend on your condition and how you respond to the herbs.
