About Mel Hornby

I am Mel Hornby, a practicing Medical Herbalist and a fully qualified member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists. I am also a qualified yoga instructor with the British Wheel of Yoga. I am passionate about herbal medicine, which I believe is the oldest known form of medicine, having been used for thousands of years to treat illness and restore good health.

As a Medical Herbalist, I combine the traditional use of herbs with modern scientific knowledge and research to create individual herbal prescriptions for my patients. I take a holistic approach to illness, taking into account not only the symptoms but also the underlying cause of ill-health. Herbal medicine is suitable for all, from the very young to the very old, and offers a safe, gentle, and effective approach to health care.

I graduated from the University of Central Lancashire with a BSc (Hons) degree in Herbal Medicine, in 2007. My studies covered subjects such as physiology, pharmacology, pathology, biochemistry, and botany, in addition to 500 hours of supervised clinical training. I am a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH), founded in 1864, requiring its members to have graduated from an accredited university where students are trained in both medical and plant sciences. As a member of NIMH, I am required to carry out Continuing Professional Development and commit to a career-long learning programme.

Our Services

At Namaste Herbal Healing, we offer a range of services, including:
