Herbal Medicine Therapy

Herbalism is one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world. Herbalists are primarily concerned with establishing and eradicating the cause of ill health through holistic treatment of the individual.

Herbalists use a wide range of plant extracts and believe that by using plants in their natural form, many of the side effects associated with modern medicine can be avoided.

We operate 4 herbal medicine clinics servicing in-person consultations at our Edinburgh, Bathgate and Glasgow clinics. We also offer remote consultations through online video conferencing so that you can get the support and guidance you need, whether you are in Scotland or Spain!

Napiers Medical Herbalists are qualified and are accredited practitioners of NIMH (The National Institute of Medical Herbalists) or other professional bodies.
