The Herbal Clinic

read moreWe understand disease at a level beyond the superficial symptoms and strive to find a permanent resolution. Our focus is to unravel the reasons why you are unwell, to identify the root cause, then resolve from there. Established in 1977, The Herbal Clinic in Swansea has a long founded tradition of commitment to patient care. We aim to restore health and vitality through consultation, iris diagnosis and prescription of fresh herbal preparations. As part of a Health Programme, patients learn to take responsibility for themselves, establish good life long habits and understand the cause to their symptoms.

It is a vigorous massage but the pressure can be adjusted to individual needs, making this a therapy that is suitable for people of all ages, including children. If a phobia of needles has ever put you off Acupuncture then Tui Na is an excellent alternative. It focuses on the same acupoints and can deliver relief from a wide range of conditions, even when used as a therapy on its own. Sean Dowdall, has been studying traditional Chinese therapies for many years.

We see, for example, many cases of arthritis, abdominal pain or skin complaints and their causes are always varied, therefore advice and treatment has to be specific to the person, not the disease. For a first appointment, expect to be in the clinic for around 2-3 hours. Details such as diet, family and medical history are taken before the consultation and then a health program is discussed after.
