What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal medicine is the use of whole plant remedies to prevent and cure your complaints gently. Many well-established medicines come from plants. For example morphine comes from poppies and aspirin from willow bark. Like many complementary therapies, herbal medicine aims to be holistic - by treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, to encourage the body to heal itself. Everyone's health and disease are different, just as we look different to each other.

Energetics

I am trained in similar diagnostic skills as an orthodox doctor, however I tend to concentrate on restoring balance to your body using the energies of the herbs.. I use all parts of the herb to preserve the energy of the plant, not just an extract as used by the pharmaceutical industry. Every herb I use has known actions with affinities to one or more of your body systems. For example, if you are suffering from an acute infection, you will need cooling herbs to neutralise the heat that is being created in your body from the infection.

Leave it to the Experts

I choose the most effective herbs from the best quality and sustainable sources. Please do not underestimate the potency and safety of herbal medicines, particularly when combining with pharmaceutical medicines. My expert knowledge of the correct herbs and dosage are an integral part to the success of your treatment, which took many years of specialist study and practice to achieve. I'll make up a unique prescription for you to target your areas of distress. I supply herbs in tinctures, enteric coated tablets and capsules, and teas and creams.
