Herbal Medicine Lincoln

This is because a plant or a tree is a living thing and medical herbalists may use the whole plant, the flowers, the leaves, the roots, the barks, the buds, and the stems. Such variety provides choice to you, the consumer, in that herbal medicines may be applied in many different ways without compromising quality or effectiveness. Herbal medicines are commonly prepared in three bases: water, alcohol (and alcohol alternatives) or oil.

Martin is a fully qualified Western Medical Herbalist, and provides holistic healthcare for the entire family. He cares for patients ranging in age from infants to the elderly. He is registered with the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH) who were founded in England, in 1864.

He utilises a variety of therapeutics including herbal medicine and nutritional advice, as well as dietary and lifestyle counselling. He has a wide breadth of expertise and knowledge to assist his patients in health and healing. As a qualified Western Medical Herbalist, Martin has studied orthodox medicine as well as traditional plant medicine and is trained in the same diagnostic skills as an orthodox doctor. Martin takes a holistic approach to illness, aiming to identify and eradicate the underlying cause of a condition rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Martin trained at the University of Lincoln (BSc Hons) where he also conducted pioneering research using natural therapies into treating diabetic foot ulcers, and his work was recognised by being awarded a "1st" for his dissertation.

He firmly believes that continuing this path provides a balance between orthodox “evidence based” treatment strategies, and connecting this to the ancient wisdom of plant medicines - which has been used by man for thousands of years.
