Apricot Forest is one of the largest Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pharmacies in Europe & one of the largest Chinese herbal medicine clinics in the UK. Our staff and practitioners at Apricot Forest are dedicated to the practice of classical Chinese medicine and the pursuit of clinical excellence. We see patients in our clinics in the UK or throughout Europe by videoconferencing.
True Chinese medicine specialises in the treatment of life and time, and Apricot Forest supports people to reach their fullness, prolong good health, increasing it wherever possible.
We specialise in fertility treatment as well as the expert treatment of most disorders from the common cold or flu, to any chronic or life threatening illness. We treat heart disease in it’s many forms, pain syndromes, gynecological and digestive disorders, arthritis & rheumatic conditions, auto-immune disorders and support those undergoing cancer treatment. We are always happy to discus treatment plans with you or your consultant.
Apricot Forest is one of the most advanced Chinese herbal pharmacies in the UK, and Europe, stocking only high-grade medicinal herbs that are organic & certified free of contamination from sulfur, pesticides and heavy metals whenever possible. We are also fortunate to be able to stock ‘di dao’ herbs from the Fire Spirit school pharmacy in China.
We are one of only a handful of clinics in Europe that is furnished with advanced decocting and packaging machinery as used in Chinese hospitals, enabling us to prepare your herbal medicine in sterile sachets for ease of use, high patient compliance and standardisation of dosage. Research shows up to a 30-40% increase in extraction rate of active ingredients, increasing treatment efficacy and reducing waste of valuable resources.
We prepare your prescriptions and have them couriered out the same day for prescriptions emailed in by midday. The sachets are 150ml in size, but can be made smaller for babies and children, and larger for external washes. Qualified and registered practitioners who wish to register to use the service can send us their details through the contact page. For international costs please email, we currently supply practitioners and patients in UK, Germany, Sweden, Spain, France and Poland.
Here at Apricot Forest we do not support the sale or use of endangered plant or animal species. The use of such medicinals is strictly regulated today and is absolutely not part of professional TCM in the UK.
