Specialist Support for Long-Term Infections:
CLAID stands for Covid, Lyme, and Infectious Diseases. We are a dedicated team of herbal medicine practitioners who focus on the long-term effects of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. While we work closely with Napiers the Herbalists, CLAID Clinic operates as a separate, registered, not-for-profit cooperative.
Helping Patients with Persistent & Complex Infections:
Our skilled practitioners support people struggling with chronic, recurrent, or antibiotic-resistant infections, including
- Lyme disease & co-infections (Borrelia, Bartonella, Babesia)
- Persistent urinary tract & prostate infections
- Post-viral conditions from Covid-19, Epstein-Barr (mononucleosis), herpesviruses, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and tropical viruses like dengue and chikungunya
Many of our patients experience ongoing symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, inflammation, and immune dysfunction. Our approach combines herbal medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle support to help you recover and regain your quality of life.
A Collaborative & Holistic Approach:
We believe in working alongside conventional medicine to provide the safest and most effective care. Where possible, we collaborate with your primary care doctor to avoid any drug-herb interactions. Our team includes:
✔️ Medical & Naturopathic herbalists
✔️ Nutritional therapists
✔️ Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners
✔️ Counsellors and holistic health experts
We take a whole-person approach, considering diet, stress, sleep, and other lifestyle factors, while designing a personalised herbal protocol tailored to your needs. Our team also holds regular case review meetings with infectious disease specialists to ensure the highest standard of care.
Supporting Practitioners & Advancing Research:
CLAID Clinic is committed to education and collaboration. We run:
📌 AKESO – a biannual herbal practitioner training conference
📌 A practitioner support forum for knowledge-sharing

A Not-for-Profit, Patient-Focused Clinic:
CLAID Clinic is a cooperative society run by its practitioner members. Each practitioner charges a consultation fee for their time, but no commissions are taken on prescriptions or medicines. Instead, these funds go back into research, patient care, and supporting those on low incomes.
At CLAID Clinic, we are dedicated to helping you heal with safe, effective, and research-backed natural medicine.
