Looking for Further Help?: Where to find a qualified herbalist

*  If you are looking for herbal treatment from a professional herbalist in a clinic, then have a look to see if there is someone suitably qualified who is working near you.

*  Many herbalists now offer consultations online too. Do remember though, that they will need to send herbal medicines to you so if you are in a different country to the person that you’d like to consult, I recommend that you check that they can ship herbal medicine to you (international shipping and postal rules vary from country to country).

*  The following are some of the international registers of qualified, professional herbalists.

*  Click the button to see if they have a registered herbalist near you.

How to tell if the chickweed product you’re looking at is a cream (emulsion) or an ointment.

Look at the full ingredient label:

  • If it includes ‘aqua’ then this is water and you are likely looking at an emulsion.
  • If it doesn’t contain this then it is probably made with oils and is an ointment.
