Medical Herbalism combines a medical and clinical training with the time honoured practice of plant medicine dating back thousands of years. Helen Shardlow specialises in personalised medicine which addresses the person and not the disease. The aim is to understand the root causes of imbalances and disorders within each individual taking into account the wider aspects of health such as mental, emotional and nutritional wellbeing.
Herbal medicine is suitable for all ages, including children, and can be used to treat many of the typical conditions you might consult your GP for. On your first visit a full case history will be taken, including a list of any prescription or over the counter remedies or supplements you may be taking.
