Heal yourself the natural way

Herbal medicine is the oldest and still the most widely used system of medicine in the world today. It is medicine made exclusively from plants. It is used in all societies and is common to all cultures.

Herbal medicine is increasingly being validated by scientific investigation which seeks to understand the active chemistry of the plant. Many modern pharmaceuticals have been modelled on, or derived from chemicals found in plants. An example is the heart medication digoxin derived from foxglove (Digitalis purpurea).

Using plants as medicine provides significant advantages for treating many conditions. The therapeutic activity of a plant is due to its complex chemical nature with different parts of the plant providing certain therapeutic effects.

Herbal medicine has never been more popular than it is today. More and more people are turning to herbal medicine to work alongside mainstream medicine, so it is important to use a practitioner who has a good understanding of both disciplines.

Our approach to health care is different too. NIMH-registered herbalists, such as Denise Stewart at Plant Therapy, treat the whole person and not just the symptom. Two people could visit the same herbalist, with apparently the same condition, but leave with totally different prescriptions. We treat people as individuals. We believe that it is this approach that gets the best results.

Herbal medicine can treat almost any condition about which you may consult your doctor. Just a few of these are:
• Weight Management
• Women’s / Men’s Health
• Migraine
• Allergies
• Anxiety
• High Blood Pressure

It may be used to treat any age group, from infancy to old age. Our objective, based on years of study and caring for people, is to make you feel better the natural way.
