I offer a herbal dispensing service so that a herbal prescription can be made to suit your individual needs. A herbal prescription can be arranged without a consultation although in many instances I prefer an initial consultation so that I can more thoroughly understand your health history and other influencing factors. The medicinal qualities of the plant kingdom was exclusively relied on for good health thousands of years ago. The more recent technocratic age has brought about the manufacture of pharmaceutical medications - some have been a blessing and others have been detrimental to us. Animals graze constantly, instinctively choosing the plant that is perfect for their current needs. Humans used to have strong instincts but we have become disconnected from this valuable source of wisdom. The use of herbal medicine is currently coming full circle as our instincts are again strengthening and we are remembering the power and place of herbs in our wellbeing. They come from nature and are a match for the natural healing mechanism of our body. Herbs have an affinity with specific areas of the body and they provide high quality nutrients including vitamins and minerals. I am passionate about herbal medicine as it is an excellent way to correct chronic health issues. An individualised herbal formula is one of the most direct way to influence your health goals.
Medical Herbs
Medical herbs can be mis-used and some have side effects. Therefore they are only able to be dispensed by suitably qualified naturopaths and medical herbalists. They are often taken for a short period of time - such is the speed of their effectiveness. They can be taken as a concentrated liquid extract - added to a little water or juice, or as capsule or tablet. The dried preparation of the herb can be taken as an infusion (like a tea) or decoction. The herbs are sometimes applied topically in poultice form or within a cream or lotion.
Homeobotanical Herbs
This form of herbal therapy utilises minute doses of the herb so that it works on a vibrational level. It is a very powerful way to affect change in the body and mind and they are easy to take as they are virtually tasteless. I use them a great deal in the clinic. They are excellent for babies and children as they are virtually tasteless and are taken as a few drops in some water. |
