The Herbal Alternative
Herbal Medicine offers thousands of years of traditional wisdom - tested, clarified and focused by modern, medical evidence. Three years ago Gemma Wild was a successful herbalist with patients spread around the globe, the graduate of a rigorous Herbal Medicine degree and a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists. After years of practice she found herself increasingly unsatisfied with the NHS's lack of coherent herbal treatments - and so decided to study modern, clinical medicine at Barts and The London. Her aim is to combine the two disciplines seamlessly and holistically, offering a wide breadth of clinical experience and knowledge to back up traditional lore.
Whether you have a long-term, chronic condition like rheumatoid arthritis, simply need a hay-fever remedy or a short-term boost to your immune system, herbal medicine can provide a safe, proven, gentle and - above all - natural answer. As GPs are pressured to spend less time with each patient, it's reassuring to know that a herbal consultation - whether by phone or in person - usually takes at least an hour. Gemma always tries to gain a picture of the patient as a whole person before deciding on a prescription.
