Who benefits from herbal medicine?

Herbal medicine is suitable for everyone and, because of its gentle approach it is particularly appropriate for the elderly and the very young. Many of the common complaints such as anxiety and stress, constipation, coughs and colds, mild depression, digestive problems, gynaecological disorders, hayfever, headaches, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, menopausal symptoms, skin conditions, and urinary infections, to name a few, can be successfully treated with herbs alone.

Many chronic conditions such as asthma, high blood pressure (hypertension), osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid conditions can often be successfully treated too.

In the case of a serious illness such as cancer, herbalists are able to work alongside conventional therapy to support the patient and help them with the side effects of their treatment
