National Institute of Medical Herbalists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Institute of Medical Herbalists is the major professional body regulating medical herbalists in the United Kingdom. It was first established as the National Association of Medical Herbalists in 1864 by a group of herbalists from the north of England, but currently has members in several countries. Members undergo a lengthy training program before they can register as qualified medical herbalists. Practitioners train for at least three years, and adhere to a strict code of conduct before they can gain MNIMH or FNIMH after their name.[1]

NIMH-registered medical herbalists are trained in the same diagnostic skills as mainstream doctors but they take a more holistic approach to treating illness.
