About the Company

Both medical practitioners and herbalists under the INSTITUTE OF HERBAL MEDICINE launched the Idea in 1997. We are passionate about helping people live healthier lives through the responsible use of herbs and medicinal plants. One of our roles is to provide you with the most reliable, up-to-date information about herbs based on modern science and traditional wisdom. We research and constructs herbals using our Local Tropical Plants. 2001 Almed was launched for Developing and Marketing products under the Institute of Herbal Medicine.

 

The market for medicinal herbs is estimated at more than $3 billion, according to the Medicinal Plant Working Group. More than 60 million U.S. consumers take herbal remedies. The aging U.S. population is a contributing factor to the increase in supplement sales. Baby Boomers are seeking a more holistic approach to their health care.

 
There is widespread use of supplements, especially among senior citizens, according to Moshe Frenkel, MD, an assistant professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Use of supplements among consumers over age 65 has doubled, according to Frenkel. Most of the supplement use is self-initiated and is done without physician approval. Frenkel says some supplements are okay, while others may have harmful effects. With growing interest in medical alternatives, physicians and pharmacists are taking herbs, dietary supplements and other self-care options into account. For example, the American Pharmacists Association published the 15th edition of the Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs in April 2006. The textbook includes a comprehensive examination of all self-care options, including nutritional supplements and herbal medications.

What is herbal medicine?
Herbal medicine, also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine, refers to the use of any plant's seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark, or flowers for medicinal purposes. Long practiced outside of conventional medicine, herbalism is becoming more mainstream as up-to-date analysis and research show their value in the treatment and prevention of disease.

 

What happens during a visit to an herbalist?
When you visit an herbalist, the treatment goals are often more broad than stopping a single complaint. Herbalists aim to correct imbalances, resolve patterns of dysfunction, and treat the underlying cause of your complaint. Specific symptoms may also be treated if necessary.

Confidentiality
I aim to make your counseling session as pleasurable an experience as possible. I also endeavour to create a safe, secure and confidential environment enabling openness and ease of disclosure of what can be delicate, sensitive and often painful issues. Confidentiality is taken very seriously by professional Counselors and Psychotherapists and everything that is discussed is kept in the strictest confidence. There a couple of exceptions to this rule and I will discuss these with you at the assessment session.
