Will I still need to see my doctor?
Potentially, yes. As per The Royal College of Herbal Medicine’s Code of Ethics we “will always advise patients, in the case of serious illnesses or uncertain diagnosis, to seek advice from their GP/consultant”. Similarly “with the patient’s consent, liaise with that patient’s other health professionals, where appropriate”.
