​Plant medicine as nature intended

​Herbal Medicine can be used beneficially for the treatment of many conditions. Herbs offer a holistic and supportive approach to disease management and general health. Herbalism is able to support symptom management and your herbalist will look at treating the root of a problem by choosing herbs tailored for the individual to achieve the best outcome. Medical herbalists help diagnose many conditions and can work safely and individually with people taking medication.

​Long term conditions can be approached by using Herbs in a supportive way whilst specific problems may be targeted. 

Acute conditions such as coughs, colds and minor infections can respond quickly and the duration of these types of infection may be lessened.

​Herbal Medicine used before the season starts can help prevent or lessen the onset and severity of Hayfever.

Herbalists treat a wide range of conditions & herbs may be used in a number of forms, including Tinctures, Teas, Capsules, Pessaries & Syrups.

Skin problems may be treated with topical or systemic remedies to obtain the best effect.  ​Digestive disorders, cardiovascular problems, nervous system and memory problems can be treated effectively and managed safely, as can respiratory and immune problems, insomnia and stress related problems.

Hormonal disorders including premenstrual syndrome, irregular or heavy periods, infertility and menopausal problems, all respond well to herbal medicine and may be effectively managed or improved using herbs.

Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation medical history is taken including diet & medication. A treatment plan is then formulated and a prescription of Herbal Medicine is dispensed for the initial treatment.

Follow up Consultation

Follow up consultations are required to monitor progress and make any necessary adaptations. These appointments are generally much shorter and may sometimes be done by telephone. 

The length of herbal treatment depends on the severity of the problem, as well as the response to the treatment. Every client has an individual herbal medicine treatment plan which is aimed at restoring balance and normal ​function as quickly as possible, however as with conventional medicine, long term strategies may be better suited for long term conditions.

Herbal medicine is available for everyone, young or old, as problems occur and as we change with life.
