National Institute of Medical Herbalists

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. Members have undergone a lengthy training program before registering as qualified medical herbalists. 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 or FNIMH after their name.^[1] NIMH-registered medical herbalists are trained in the same diagnostic skills as mainstream doctors and take a holistic approach to health.
