It’s Herbal Medicine Week

The aim of Herbal Medicine Week is to promote herbal medicine to the public, educate people about herbal medicine, share our knowledge, and show people the vital role that herbalists play in community health and wellbeing.

Modern Western herbal medicine emphasises the effects of herbs on the whole body and individual body systems. Herbal medicine practitioners aim to treat the underlying causes and may prescribe herbs, singly or in combination, aimed at correcting patterns of dysfunction.
