Herbal Medicine

Herbs have been used for healing by all peoples from ancient times right through to the present day. This use, spanning thousands of years, illustrates their efficacy and safety in ways no modern trial can emulate. The wealth of documentation from ancient times right through to the present day supports this.
This holistic approach is one that Acknowledges all aspects of the person. That is not just the physical symptoms of the individual but they're mental and emotional states as well as their spiritual needs and beliefs. This approach takes into consideration your past history as well as any family traits that might be relevant and where known.
Looking at the individual as a whole, honouring all the aspect and creating harmony and balance between them gives the body the space it needs to gain the maximum benefit from the herbs and return to it's natural healthy state.

Preventative Herbal Treatment Programmes

Detox Herbal Treatment Programmes

To keep your system healthy and to boost your energy levels it is a good idea to detox at least once or twice a year. In terms of health, detoxification is a wholly natural process happening all the time but even more so at particular times of year. If we look at our surrounding natural environment we see this happening during the Spring and Autumn cycles.
Detoxing is especially recommended if you:

* Smoke
* Drink more than one cup of coffee or cola per day,
* Drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week
* Suffer from PMS
* Are plagued with recurrent colds or flu
* Feel tired all the time
* Are overweight, constipated, or feel bloated after eating

Spring Detox

Traditionally, spring has been recognised as the most important time of year to cleanse. It is part of our natural yearly cycle, the sap is rising, everything is coming back to life and our days get progressively longer.
Spring is the time for renewing your life - letting go of what you don't need like physical, mental, and emotional habits that undermine your health.
The cleansing process de-stresses your body and lets your energy rise and awaken your psyche.
A healthy body lets your Spirit fly more freely.

Book a consultation in March

Autumn Detox

As the nights draw in and the leaves start to fall we have a natural tendency to slow down, our days become shorter and we spend more time indoors and our thoughts are turned inwards. This is the perfect time to work on personal projects that we shelved and start to plan for the changes we would like to implement next year. Detoxing the system and boosting the immune system will protect you from the usual coughs, colds and snuffles that can be such a problem at this time of the year. It will keep the winter blues at bay ensuring you have more than enough energy and entheusiasm to persue those projects you didn't have time for in the busy summer months.

What To Expect During A Consultation

A holistic approach to healing considers the whole person - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. We will discuss your lifestyle and dietary habits, your desires and expectations, as well as your past and present state of health and any family history that may be relevant, if known.
Having gathered all the relevant information I will design an herbal treatment program tailored to suit your individual requirements. As well as the herbs there may also be advice about diet and supplements and I may need to monitor your progress on a monthly basis. It is important to tell me about any other medication that you are taking, as this may be relevant when prescribing herbal treatment.

A genuine desire to be well and change your life for the better
Courage to confront the challenges life presents you with openly and honestly
Patience and perseverance. Change is not always easy and can take time, but you can be assured of my support and encouragement

The herbs, when properly selected, have a very direct effect on the physiology of the body, due to the active constituents they contain. This, combined with your willingness to change and my support creates a powerfully dynamic healing environment in which miracles really can happen!
