Herbal Medicine Outpatient Clinic

Herbal medicine has been our specialty for over 300 years. We draw on the long tradition of herbal medicine of the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God Convent passed down from generation to generation over the years. Based on contemporary medical knowledge, we offer herbal blends and formulations composed according to traditional recipes. The herbal blends do not replace professional pharmaceutical therapy but can be administered as a complementary therapy for the following conditions: respiratory tract infections, digestive diseases (stomachache, heartburn, constipation, flatulence, etc.), elevated cholesterol levels, urinary tract infections, respiratory conditions, skin conditions, nervous disorders, and sleeplessness. Herbal medicine for cancer patients is primarily used as an addition to symptomatic treatment. Remember that herbal therapy must not be used without first consulting a doctor. Appropriate treatment is always based on the results of medical examinations. Herbs make an excellent addition to synthetic pharmaceuticals. Herbal medicine is further proof that the Brothers Hospitallers are fully dedicated to the sick and the needy.

Herbal medicine consultations are given by highly-qualified medical professionals and Father Franciszek Caputa. The herbal formulations are usually available by prescription only and are prescribed during consultations. The prescriptions can be filled at the Health of the Sick [Udrowienie Chorych] Pharmacy located in the same building. To register for a consultation, please contact the Reception Desk during the opening hours of the Herbal Medicine Outpatient Clinic. Please check the current doctors’ schedule; the hours are subject to change.
