Building on over 160 years of tradition led by the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, the Herbal Medicine Conference 2026 brings together professional medical herbalists and healthcare professionals, researchers, students, and herb enthusiasts to bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and modern clinical practice.
🌿 Herbal Medicine and the Gut 🌿
Exploring Herbal Approaches to Gastrointestinal Health
As modern science continues to unravel the complexities of the gut microbiome, the role of herbal medicine has never been more relevant.

From managing complex functional gut disorders and inflammatory conditions to optimising the gut-brain axis, our expert line-up of speakers will share traditional understanding, research, case studies, and clinical strategies.
