Welcome to Kitchen MedicineHERBAL MEDICINE Is the oldest and still the most widely used system of medicine in the world today. Made exclusively from the roots, bark, leaves, seed or fruit of plants, each culture has its own traditional base in phytotherapy.
Modern day western herbal medicine draws on centuries of knowledge from the time of Hippocrates to todays increasing interest by the scientific profession with regard to the efficacy of herbs such as St Johns Wort, Echinacea, Hawthorn extract and of course the new “antioxidants” .
There was a time when simple medicinal habits were passed down from Mother to Daughter. These are long by gone days the 'olden times' as my daughters like to call them. Being a medical herbalist and passionate about simple remedies that are reliable, safe and more to the point in these days of recession, inexpensive and easily to hand.
