Medical Herbalist

Grange Clinic of Natural Medicine

History shows that every culture in the world has, at some stage in their evolution, used herbs as the main basis of their medicine and, until the onset of chemical refinement around 50 years ago, nearly all of the drugs prescribed by Doctors had a herbal origin. Today, Herbalism draws both from its vast knowledge as one of the oldest medical systems in existence and modern scientific research to create a rounded, effective and natural treatment for a variety of conditions.

What does a herbalist do?

Herbalists help others improve their health through the use of natural plant material, a source of healing that doesn’t burden the body with chemicals and very rarely causes side-effects in the way many orthodox drugs can. A full herbal consultation (normally 1 - 2 hours) includes a review of your current situation or health concern through investigation of your medical history and the use of conventional diagnostic techniques such as feeling pulses, tongue analysis, general observation and palpation. A personal blend of herbs is normally prescribed to meet your specific needs and may be in the form of -

Capsules (hand-made, containing ground herbs)

Powders

Decoctions (simmered in pot with water)

Infusions (Prepared like tea)

Tinctures (Herbs suspended in pure, high-grade alcohol)

Drop-in clinic

It is possible to prescribe natural medicines without a consultation, for example in the case of colds or flu, if you are simply seeking natural medicines to help with the symptoms. Please phone for details.
