For most people, the first port of call if they feel unwell is their GP. We recognise that seeing a herbalist will be different, and that that can often be unsettling.
To help you to feel more confident before arranging a consultation, and to help you understand why a herbalist could be able to help you in a more personal and individual way, we have created a short explanation of what may happen in a typical consultation.
We are a community for our members, and membership provides them with support, guidance, development and so much more.
