Between re-enacting and running talks and courses, and even just talking to interested parties, I've found myself repeatedly pointing people to various resources to help them engage with herbalism. Too often has this lead to a series of names being scribbled on a scrap of paper or a business card... I'm sure that will still happen too, but how much better to be able to point people here!
And so, grouped below by topic, you'll find names and links that might be of help.
Finding a Practitioner
Finding the right practitioner for you is important. Practitioners can vary with their traditions and backgrounds, and potentially have areas of special interest that appeal to different patients needs, and availability and locality can of course play a part too.
For those in North Wales, where I'm unable to offer an appointment due to availability etc, I would highly recommend Dafydd Monks - Snowdonia Botanical Medicine - a highly experienced herbal practitioner, with additional experience from the EMT world and Sports and Remedial Massage. and He offers consultations in person, mainly with clinics in Menai Bridge and Llandudno, and potentially online too.
For further afield, many herbalists can be found through their professional bodies.
Some of the most notable professional bodies for herbalists in the UK are:
