Hypericum perforatum

The Healing Power of Nature

Herbal medicine can be used for a wide range of health problems.

Do you suffer from any of the following?

  • Arthritis or other joint diseases
  • Skin problems e.g. eczema and psoriasis
  • Heart and circulatory diseases e.g. high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels
  • Sleep problems, stress, anxiety and depression
  • Digestive disorders e.g. I.B.S., constipation, Crohn's disease
  • Respiratory diseases e.g. sinusitis, chronic bronchitis
  • Menstrual, menopausal and other hormonal symptoms
  • Urinary and prostate problems
  • Migraines

Why take plant medicines rather than conventional ones?

In general, plants and herbs have little or no side-effects, are gentler in their actions and can be very effective for many conditions, particularly chronic ones like digestive problems, skin complaints, PMS, menopausal symptoms, allergies, arthritis, circulatory problems, stress and insomnia, frequent colds and infections.

It is possible to take both conventional and complementary medicines together if you and your G.P. are happy with this and I am trained to be aware of drug/herb interactions.

The first consultation takes around1 hour, and is completely private and confidential. We discuss your general health, any specific concerns, your diet and lifestyle and I will carry out any necessary physical examinations in order to build up a complete picture.

If necessary a herbal prescription will be prepared for you from mostly organically produced medicinal plant remedies. It may be adjusted over time.

How long will it take until I feel the benefits?

Herbal medicines often take longer than conventional ones as they will be working on different levels, perhaps initially in the deep tissues of the body. The aim is to bring the whole body into balance. Signs of improvement in symptoms can appear within a few weeks for most treatable conditions.

Cost of Treatment

Your first consultation of around 1 hour costs £30.  Follow-up consultations of around ½ hour cost £15.  Medicines cost from £5 to £10 pounds a week.  Concessions are available for children (half-price), and those on a low income (sliding scale). Free initial advice of up to15 minutes is available on request.

A spoon full of sugar... no need!

Herbs are nutritious as food as well as medicine. Add the petals of marigold to soups and salads to add colour and its delicate flavour.
