Beeches Clinic

Medical herbalists receive training in the same clinical diagnostic skills as GPs and hospital doctors. Their studies cover anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology and pharmacology as well as plant chemistry and they view health and illness in the same way doctors do. However, their treatment of sick health differs in that they are trained to recognise the importance of looking at the overall picture of the patient's circumstances rather than just at the symptoms of illness - an holistic approach.
