Medical herbalists use plants and herbal remedies to help improve their clients' health and wellbeing.
To prepare for work as a medical herbalist, you should complete a degree in herbal medicine approved by the National Institute of Medical Herbalists or one of the organisations represented by the European Herbal and Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association. Degrees last 3 years full time, or 5 to 6 years part time, and include at least 500 hours of supervised clinical practice with patients. If you're a trained medical practitioner like a doctor or nurse, you could take a postgraduate degree in herbal medicine.
