He is a keen gardener and has a deep love of growing medicinal plants and producing high-quality extracts from a select group of them for use in his practice. He is interested in the relationship between traditional knowledge of South African medicinal plants and contemporary phytochemical, pharmacological and clinical research and other developments in modern phytotherapy.

What is homeopathy and phytotherapy
Homeopathic and herbal medicine treatment is intrinsically holistic and highly individualised. The whole person's mind and body are taken into account when tailor-making a treatment programme for a patient. The aim of therapy is to stimulate the body's own self-healing capabilities.
In South Africa, homeopaths and phytotherapists are medically trained primary-contact physicians who are able to diagnose and treat (if appropriate) illness and deficiencies in human beings. Outside of South Africa, phytotherapists are known as medical herbalists. All South African-trained homeopaths have a Master's degree in Homeopathy and have undergone a 5-year fulltime training and a 1 year internship. Practitioners must register with and are controlled by the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa.
