| The Pharmacy and Bristol
Chinese Herb Garden
| Our pharmacy contains around 150 Chinese
herbs. We buy direct from two companies who import direct from China,
called “Mayway” and “Kingham Herbs and Tinctures”.
These companies rigorously check the quality of herbs to ensure that
they supply only the freshest and finest herbs available. |

The wide variety of herbs held means that we can treat just about any
disease you can mention! Chinese herbalists use many different parts of
plants, including roots, leaves, stems, flowers, fungii and barks. We
do not use endangered species (unless they are specially farmed in conservation
programmes), or products that require the killing of animals.
We grow some Chinese herbs on the premises, although these are for display
and research purposes only.
Henry is involved with the Chinese Herb Garden at the Bristol University
Botanical Gardens, where he also teaches Chinese Herbs. The Bristol garden
is linked with Nanjing University Botanical Gardens in China, and helps
to raise money for their conservation programme.
Bristol Chinese Herb Garden is involved in growing around 300 Chinese
herbs, many of which can be seen by the public when the garden is open
on weekdays.
