I am training in a tradition that goes back many thousands of years. If you choose to come to me then you will be meeting with a person who is practicing a form of medicine that has had a very long time to work out how to be both safe and effective.
At the heart of the practice of herbal medicine is the understanding that we humans, like all living things, have an extraordinary, in-built, natural intelligence that knows how to self-repair from injury or illness.
In all the ancient traditions of herbal medicine, the primary goal is to see and seek to remove whatever may be obstructing that natural intelligence, and then use what herbs, foods or any other viable strategies to help it to do its job.
Those leaves, roots, barks, berries, flowers, and fruits that we and other animals instinctively sought out when we were sick have been the subjects of an on-going clinical trial for 'what works' for many tens of thousands of years, and it continues.
Today, the World Health Organisation recognises that herbs are still, by far, the most widespread form of medicine used on our planet.
