Real Herbal Medicine

Practically everybody sells herbs in one form or another these days – supermarkets, pharmacies and endless mail order companies. For many of these companies, their drive may be more about sales than genuinely helping people to feel better. 

At Foreman & Jones, our aim is to positively help each person we come into contact with. What’s more, the herbs we use are of medicinal grade from reputable, regulated suppliers.  Many people fail to realise that the Chamomile tea bags you buy with your weekly shop may be nothing like a ‘true herbal tea’ (with additional flavourings and other aritifical ingredients added). Many people aren’t aware that herbal medicine extends beyond tasty teas. Here at Foreman and Jones we prescribe tailored medicines from tinctures (100% pure liquid extracts) to natural creams, juices, tablets and capsules.

We treat everything from minor health complaints to complex or serious health issues via a personal consultation. We also offer free, over the counter advice. 

Below are some common questions relating to herbal medicine:

• Which herb should I take?
• Should I take more than one at a time?
• How much should I take and how often?
• How long should I continue it for?
• How long should it take before I notice an improvement?
• What do I do if it doesn’t do what I want it to do?

As qualified Medical Herbalists we can help find the answer to these questions, either via a formal consultation or, if preferred, over the counter advice. Please be aware though that over the counter assistance is really only limited to minor complaints. If in doubt do ask, we’re happy to help!
