We are the leading professional body for Medical Herbalists, providing support for members and campaigning for the recognition of the role of herbal medicine as an integral part of everyday healthcare. The National Institute of Medical Herbalists is the largest 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. Practitioners train for at least three years at Baccheloriate level including over 500 hours of clinical practice, and adhere to a strict code of conduct before they can gain MNIMH after their name. NIMH-registered medical herbalists are trained in the same diagnostic skills as mainstream doctors and take a holistic approach to health.

We are just about over the excitement of our Power of Plants festival! It was a wonderful three days filled with inspirational speakers and workshops, botanical wisdom, herbal knowledge, funghi fascinations, reunions, new connections, curiosity and kindness!

Lydia Mantella, MNIMH, was one of the many brilliant speakers in our packed lineup at PoP Festival, and she's written a fantastic blog about the weekend! If you couldn’t make it, her blog offers a great glimpse into all the fun and inspiration you missed. And if you were there, take a moment to relive the magic!
