The Herbalist’s Approach to Illness

Many people are surprised that a consultation with a medical herbalist is so “medical”, but it is not surprising when you consider that medical herbalists undergo a four-year training and learn the same diagnostic skills as doctors. In the same way as a GP, they are also trained to recognize “red flag” signs and symptoms for which referral to a specialist would be appropriate. Where they differ from doctors is that they take a holistic approach to illness – the aim is always to treat the whole person and to correct the underlying imbalances which have given rise to the condition in the first place.
