Herbal medicine is based on the traditional use of plant-based medicines to treat and prevent a wide range of conditions, as well as to maintain optimal health. The study of Herbal Medicine is obtained through an institution approved by the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH), the UK's leading professional body representing herbal medicine practitioners who follow strict codes of conduct, ethics and practice, and regulates the profession. Medical Herbalists look at the person as a whole and not just the symptoms they present with. A treatment plan is then tailor-made which will include diet and lifestyle advice.
