Clare Lewis BSc (Hons) MNIMH Medical Herbalist 

I am a qualified Medical Herbalist and a fully insured member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists. I practice from an off grid Shepherds Hut near Tregaron. I love plants both cultivated and wild and love to share knowledge of how plants can help us. Practical workshops are a fantastic opportunity to experience fundamental skills used in traditional herbal medicine.

Herbal Medicine is humanity’s oldest form of healing, practiced in myriad forms all over the world. It is the foundation of modern medicine. A medical herbalist makes use of both traditional plant knowledge and modern scientific evidence in practice.
