Norman Howard BSc (Hons), qualified medical
herbalist
Supporting people to recover and manage using the
healing power of medicinal plants.
Welcome to this website. I hope
you will find it informative and interesting. If you have any questions about
the information provided here or you would like to comment, feel free to do so via
email. You
can of course also telephone, if you wish to speak to me directly.
Modern herbalists have helped
people restore their health and wellbeing across a wide variety of illnesses
and chronic conditions. An example of a
case is written up (anonymously) here. Find out more about herbal
medicine and the modern practice of western herbalism here. This has also reflected my practice, though I am interested in
conditions of the digestive system, including food allergy and intolerance and
autoimmune disease.
I practice from the western
tradition (Europe and North America) but also use
methods and plants gained from other traditions. Answers to frequently asked questions are
provided here.
To find out more about herbal
medicine and how it might be able to help you, telephone 07947-470789. Free initial discussions (up to 30 minutes)
are available. A first consultation
takes at least an hour. Follow up
appointments normally last up to 40 minutes.

October
2010: I am now a member of the College
of Practitioners of Phytotherapy, a professional association. Statutory
regulation of professional herbalists: although statutory regulation of
herbalists was envisaged ten years ago with the House of Lords report on
complementary medicine, there is currently no law that requires practicing herbalists
to be on a statutory register. Moreover,
unless there is change, as from April 2011, herbalists (including the professionally
qualified) in this country will not be able to prescribe herbal medicines
that are ready made up (such as herbal tablets). You can write to your MP or the Secretary of
state for Health: further details are available at the European Herbal & Traditional Medicine Practitioners
Association. Newsletters:
to obtain previous copies - send an email to nhoward@nherbs.co.uk. See
also articles on remedies and natural health at blog Other topics Health and wellbeing
for individuals
or seminars for groups: learn how to raise wellbeing and vitality, covering
life work balance, nutrition, exercise and stress management. Telephone
07947-470789 to book. For
details of a NHS clinic of western herbal medicine in London – see here. It is treating
a wide range of different medical conditions.
