andrew bentley Quick Facts

I'm a clinical herbalist practicing in Lexington Kentucky.

Herbal medicine is the world's oldest and most widely used form of medicine. More than three out of every four people worldwide rely on herbal medicine as their primary form of healthcare. In the USA and Europe, this form of healthcare has experienced a resurgence in recent decades, as the herbs themselves and studies on their effectiveness and safety have become more widely available.

In my practice, I treat individuals rather than illnesses. When a new person comes in, I work with them to put together a thorough overview of their health history and lifestyle, as well as any current symptoms or complaints. Based on this, I recommend and dispense herbs that are specifically effective for whichever organs and functions require additional support in that individual's body. Just as no two people are exactly the same, no two courses of healing are exactly the same.

I treat individuals in all stages of life and all states of health, and endeavor to make herbal medicine accessible to everyone.

In addition to my clinical practice, I lecture on herbal medicine and precept medical students for the University Of Kentucky College of Medicine. I am also a contributing author (on the topic of alternative medicine) to the clinical reference book, "5-Minute Clinical Consult", a conventional medical reference found in healthcare providers' offices throughout the world.<p>
