Aims/Beliefs
We are passionate
about herbs and feel that they should be an integral part of our
everyday lives and not just medicines. The smells, tastes, and visual
aspects of herbs (and spices) are of tremendous therapeutic value
and can enhance our overall health naturally.
We believe
in a patient-centred experience, which means that your practitioner
will not simply determine your treatment, but will actively encourage
you to participate and help formulate a suitable therapeutic management
plan. Our priority is to address patients' needs and to offer them
a real alternative to continual visits to the GP for minor aliments
and chronic conditions that can be treated successfully with herbs
- ideal for those of us worried about the over-use of anti-biotics
and other medications.
We aim to
provide our patients with an optimum service at a fair price. Our
policy is to acquire the best quality herbs available, including
organic and ethically sourced plants. With the growing popularity
of herbal medicine, some of our most valuable plants are becoming
scarce. We therefore use herbs obtained from suppliers with the
same concerns as us, limiting the use of endangered species, as
there are plenty of suitable alternatives available.
Ultimately
we would like to see herbal medicine integrated into the NHS along
with other complementary therapies, giving patients the choice to
use herbal medicine alongside their orthodox treatment.
