What herbal medicine actually involves, and how people use it.
A medical herbalist takes a detailed health and lifestyle history, then may suggest plant-based remedies tailored to you, alongside diet and lifestyle support. The aim is to support your wellbeing as a whole.
The first appointment is usually 60 to 90 minutes and explores your health in depth. You may leave with a personalised herbal preparation and some lifestyle suggestions, reviewed at follow-ups.
Some herbs can interact with medicines, so always tell the herbalist what you take, and tell your GP about any herbs. A qualified herbalist will check this carefully.
Look for membership of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (the letters MNIMH) or registration with the CNHC. Every herbalist on Welvow is independently reviewed, with their training on their profile.
