Who is a practitioner?

Anyone who is a member of a recognised professional herbal medicine body, also doctors (MD, GP), dentists, vets and supplementary prescribers. Some of the professional herbal bodies include RCHM, CPP, AHG, NCMH, NIMH, URHP, ATCM, AMH etc. also universities, schools and teaching establishments of practitioners. Overseas practitioners are accepted on the basis of qualifications and membership of similar professional bodies. Anyone who has proof of insurance cover to prescribe herbal medicines is also accepted, please email a PDF we can keep on file.

Practitioners need to create an account:

In the shop (under Shop - Order Online) or click here. Registered/qualified practitioners, doctors, dentists, vets etc. as above are automatically accepted but a practitioner account is needed to fully display all the relevant products and prices. In some cases if your professional body is not listed then we may need to check your qualifications before activating your account.

Everyone else:

Non-practitioners can only buy from the shop (under Shop - Order Online) any products currently displayed. These products are only despatched when payment is received in full and/or cleared. Payment by credit/debit card is normally required. Please note this is a secure facility. You need to create an account even if you are just wanting to download the free software (see Shop area or click here). Product Not Found! usually means practitioner account access only, visit your practitioner for advice on this.
