Richard Linton trained originally with the College of Phytotherapy in Sussex and then went on to the University of East London to gain his qualification. Further training and study has been done in naturopathy, nutrition, and the use of essential oils and flower essences.
Following his training it has been an important part of Richards work to continue to research treatments and techniques from both the past and within modern papers, to bring the best and most effective natural treatments to his patients.
Much of this research has helped to develop Vitalbotanics using the insights of the past to deal with a modern problem.
Alongside his practice Richard runs Greenway Natural Pharmacy supplying other practitioners and their patients as well as his own with a wide range of natural medication, especially his own grown and wild crafted plant based preperations.
