Welcome 
to the home page of:
Christopher Robbins,
Medical Herbalist.
I engage in several activities that might interest you.
Herbal medicine
I practise herbal medicine in my own health centre in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire (UK). I am a qualified medical herbalist and have worked in health for 31 years, the last 20 as a medical herbalist. My professional body is the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy.(MCPP).
I also teach herbal medicine at the University of Westminster in London and to home users through adult education.
Ross herbal & Natural Health Centre
The Health Centre is my main practice. I work there with other practitioners (osteopathy, acupuncture, counselling, massage, nutrition). We work closely together as a team. We are complementary rather than alternative, meaning we work closely with doctors to find the best therapy or combination for each patient.
Teaching/writing
I have taught here and there for 40 years. I teach herbalists and run courses for everybody on home remedies, healthy eating, wild food foraging, fungi etc.
I write books on health and consumer issues and am a print and broadcast journalist, with columns in magazines and newspapers and occasionally appear on radio and TV.
About me
I am an Australian but have lived in the UK since 1973. I have qualifications from Universities in Australia and the UK, in science, teaching, & herbal medicine.
I have worked in agricultural research, food and health planning in Africa and in the UK, and have researched and trained both public and private institutions in food policy and planning.
