Clinical prescribing of herbs follows multiple steps, including exploring a detailed medical background and history for an individual and taking a holistic view of their body and its current state. This is a complex process where the herbalist will ultimately establish a customised solution personalised to their client's specific needs at the time. In other words, two people experiencing the same symptoms may require different herbal combinations and the way they might be advised to use the herbs could also vary.

 

Many people turn to herbal supplements because they already have an ailment or some symptoms of illness. However, the mistake they often make is focusing on trying to identify herbs that are likely to alleviate their symptoms rather than considering the root cause and asking which of their body systems needs support, and what type of support would be most appropriate.
