What is Herbal
Medicine?
Herbal medicine is the traditional medicine of all
cultures.
Herbal medicine uses plants to treat the whole
person – not just the symptoms.
It is holistic.
Holistic medicine addresses the physical, mental and spiritual aspects
of a person, and views health as a positive state, not as the absence
of disease.
It compliments conventional medicines and other
healing modalities such as osteopathy, acupuncture, aromatherapy and
therapeutic massage.
Is Herbal medicine safe? When prescribed by a
qualified medical practitioner the answer is a resounding yes!
When taken as directed side effects are very rare.
A consultation – what to expect
Registered natural health practitioners have
studied the course and treatment of disease and have been trained in
orthodox diagnostic techniques as well as naturopathic assessments.
They are qualified to recognise problems of a
serious nature that will need referral to a specialist.
Through a careful questioning and examination
process and a history of clinical experience, practitioners build a
picture of the patient and any dis-ease.
The patient/practitioner relationship cannot be
under estimated because it is the platform from which any effective
treatment takes place.

How long does treatment take?
For acute problems such as colds and flu, the
effects of treatment can be seen within a day or two.
The treatment of chronic problems is usually
slower, can take many months. However the freedom from symptoms and
side effects that herbal treatment allows is more than enough
compensation in many cases.
