Brief summary

The project is a naturalistic observational study of individualised Western herbal medicine in a naturopathic practice setting. This project will explore the effectiveness of individualised herbal medicine prescriptions in self-reported anxiety and depressions, using a whole practice framework. This approach will not only help to evaluate total herbal medicine practice as it is practised – rather than evaluate individual herbal medicines in specific conditions in a manner which does not reflect practice – but will also help to develop research capacity on the herbal practitioner community, who will be involved in the study.
