We’re live! Welcome to the Website of the Irish Medical Herbalists Organisation
Western herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years and today in our modern world the use of herbal medicine has become a vital part of our society. Ever evolving through encompassing the knowledge of our forefathers and developments of modern research, herbalists have a wide ranging pharmacy of plant medicine to use in the treatment of their patient’s conditions.
Modern herbalists are highly trained, having completed a minimum of three years training usually culminating in a degree in Phytotherapy. The extensive clinical training that medical herbalists undertake enables them to offer an holistic approach to modern medicine that incorporates evaluating symptoms, the underlying condition and understanding the emotions and lifestyle of a patient.
Often patients ask whether herbal medicine can be used while they’re on prescription medicines from their doctor. The answer is yes. Herbal medicine is used in a supportive and beneficial role to the body, as well as being an effective part of treatment.
