National Institute of Medical Herbalists

25th AUGUST to 29th AUGUST 2009

This three-day conference will explore various aspects of Western Herbal Medicine from Ancient times, through the Middle Ages and Renaissance, to modern discussions and the dialogues with Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine. The main focus will be upon the Western tradition of constitutional and energetic medicine. This often neglected, but rich and vital tradition will be explored from various angles. In addition to scholarly presentations by experts in the field, there will be workshops, exhibitions, and an optional trip to the National Botanic Garden of Wales. There will also be plenty of social and networking opportunities, as well as a closing Twmpath, or Ceilidh.

The event has been developed in conjunction with medical herbalists, but practitioners and academics from other disciplines would also be very welcome, as would anyone with a general interest in herbs and herbalism. It should be a very lively event.

Please note that the final timetable with further details of our speakers and events will be available on the NIMH website nearer the time www.nimh.org.uk
