INTEGRATED MEDICINE.
Herbals Medicine can work alongside orthodox medicine.
I would love it if doctors could refer patients to a herbalist. They can work really well and are a great option before the more serious drug treatments are started that often have lifelong impact for the patient.
There are so many issues to discuss here, my main aim as a herbalist is to create links with my local doctors and health professionals to show them what herbs can do, so they can trust me as a herbalist as i have trained for four years and know my limitations. I wish I could shadow a GP or ward rounds.
I am happy to do CPD talks for health professionals
I would really love to have a montly discussion group with local herbalists and doctors, nurses and other heath professionals to talk about health topics.
I refer more detailed enquiries to the National Institute of Medical Herbalsits www.nimh.org.uk
