Hilary's comment

"Being a medical herbalist combines so many things for me. A love of people, healing, the natural world, and gardening come together in the practice of herbal medicine. My whole career has been spent in healthcare, as a nurse and health visitor, but being a herbalist has been the most satisfying of all. The opportunity to spend good quality time with patients, looking together at their main health issues, thus getting to the root of the problem, is highly rewarding.

Herbal medicine is an old fashioned medicine, the medicine people have used throughout time to keep themselves well, and treat their illnesses. At its simplest, it's honey and lemon for a cold and everyone has had that! There's really nothing weird or new about it
