Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is rooted in traditional wisdom and healing practices whilst being informed by medical science. Diagnostic principles are based on treating “underlying causes” and preventative medicine rather than suppressing symptoms. I gather an extensive case history and in addition to the personalised herbal prescription, I work with you to support barriers to healing through lifestyle and dietary advice, often supporting emotional as well as physical health.

Who’s it for
Many of us have been led to believe that we need to accept the chronic conditions of the modern world, or have been offered limited solutions for common complaints such as poor digestion, chronic pain, anxiety, low moods, constant fatigue, allergies and hormonal imbalances. Often, we've felt like this for so long we forget what it is to feel well, or we feel as though we have tried everything. Or we can sense something is not right but are told test results are 'normal'.

Key Benefits
While many pharmaceutical medicines are derived from plants, herbal medicines often using whole plants and can combine multiple herbs with synergistic actions.
Instead of blocking or taking over a pathway, herbal medicine works to gently relieve, restore and rebalance- guiding the body back to health.
