Medical Herbalists are trained to look beyond and beneath the obvious, to find the root cause of a problem, helping the body to correct imbalances and heal itself.

Your first consultation will last about an hour. A detailed case history is taken covering not only your present problems but your wider medical history, present medication, lifestyle, and diet. A blood pressure check and other examinations will also be carried out if relevant.

An individual herbal prescription will be prescribed for you and will be made for you at your first consultation.

A prescription may be a tincture (a blend of herbal extracts in an alcohol/water base) or a tea. For external use creams, lotions and oils may be prescribed.

Follow-up consultations are of shorter duration; adjustments may be made to the medication at this consultation to ensure the most effective treatment.

PAPAVER’s approach is it does not treat symptoms it treats people.
