  Herbal medicine is the use of plant remedies in the treatment of disease and is the oldest form of medicine known. Medical herbalists are trained in the same diagnostic skills, anatomy, physiology and clinical pathology as orthodox doctors. Their basic course takes four years of full time study to achieve but they use herbs either in tincture or dried form, in a symbiotic blend appropriate for each individual to restore health.
