After graduating with a BSc in Herbal Medicine from the University of Westminster in 2013, Amparo worked full time at Hydes Herbal Clinic in Leicester and later ran a busy clinic in their hometown of Guardamar, Spain. They went on to complete a medical degree at the University of Dundee while continuing to see herbal patients.

-
Discussion of your cases
