Our Herbal Medicine Therapies
We offer a wide range of therapies. All our therapists are members of professional bodies, are fully trained, insured and have, in many cases, years of experience.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a gentle, non-invasive form of medicine that uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. Ailments that are often treated include allergies, stress, and digestive issues.
Naturopathy
Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes the body's natural ability to heal itself. Naturopathic practitioners aim to identify and address the root cause of illness and disease, rather than just treating symptoms
I have known about Napiers for over 20years and have the most amazing medical herbalist who has a clinic in Napiers . Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Friendly and timely delivery of herbal treatment. I have now accessed Napiers' products and services both online and directly from their shop and clinic and can only recommend them highly. A very friendly, compassionate and professional team all round.
