Welcome from the President

Founded in 1920, the NHAA is the oldest natural therapies association in Australia, and the only national professional body of medical herbalists. Our main aims are:

To promote, protect and encourage the study, practice and knowledge of medical herbalism
To disseminate such knowledge by talks, seminars, and publications
To encourage the highest ideals of professional and ethical standards

Herbal medicine remains the oldest and most used form of medicine on the planet today. Every culture on the planet has their own herbal medicine system. The modern herbalist may utilise medicinal plants from all over the world, in the context of a health philosophy incorporating modern and traditional concepts and knowledge.

If you are in search of a well-qualified herbalist I would recommend a practitioner who is an NHAA Full Member - visit the section "Find a Herbalist" for more information.

Kind regards,

John Baxter - President
