Herbal Medicine

Elaine Everitt has a first class BSc (Hons) in Herbal Medicine. 

Medical Herbalists (Phytotherapists) make use of plants, whose traditional uses are backed up by modern scientific research and clinical trials. A Qualified Medical Herbalist has a BSc or equivalent in Herbal Medicine, has studied orthodox medicine as well as plant medicine and is trained in the same diagnostic skills as a GP.

However, Herbalists take an holistic approach to illness, treating the underlying cause of disease rather than just the symptoms. They are able to prescribe herbal remedies to be used alongside other medication and treatments, and many patients are referred to a Herbalist by their GP for treatment.

Herbal Medicine is suitable for people of any age, including children, who respond especially well to the gentle actions of herbs.

Each patient is treated as an individual – a Medical Herbalist recognises that no two patients are the same.
