Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is designed to improve and strengthen your health by restoring balance and increasing your vitality.

Herbs are used to treat many acute and chronic health conditions and have done so for centuries. An effective, safe, and powerful medicine that is known for both its traditional knowledge and for its modern scientific evidence- based research. Herbal medicine works by bringing back a state of balance in both body and mind.

In Australia we are fortunate to have access to high-quality, medical-grade herbal medicines in the form of dried herbs, tinctures, tablets and powders. At health matters nq we stock high quality herbs from Mediherb, Optimal RX, Herbal Extract & Nutrition Care.

Suitable for both acute and chronic conditions, herbal medicine is individually prescribed and dispensed based on presenting symptoms and underlying causes determined through a detailed case history and thorough consultation.

Herbal medicine is safe to use when prescribed by a qualified practitioner. Some herbal medicines are contra-indicated with concurrent use of other medications. If you commence medication or if your medications have changed, please advise your practitioner.
