Naturopathic Herbalism

This treatment uses a blend of natural diagnostic and treatment techniques to provide a safe and effective system of healing.
Dis-ease is the body's warning that something is wrong. Only in an unhealthy environment can germs, viruses and bacteria take over. The “whole” person needs to be in balance – body, mind, emotions, circumstances, environment – and when any of these are burdened by poor nutrition, stress, lack of exercise etc, the body's resistance is lowered.

The herbalist uses standard medical diagnostic techniques and history taking combined with iridology and other naturopathic diagnostic techniques.

Treatment will include your own specifically mixed herbal formula, nutritional adviceand in some cases Bach Flower remedies.

How Did this Modality develop?

Herbal medicine is an ancient form of healing present in most cultures. The medicinal properties of herbs and plants have been discovered and documented over many thousands of years.
“The herbalist's philosophy is that humans, like plants, are biologically complex. This means that to achieve a long lasting medicinal benefir with few or no side effects, a plant with its complex active principles will be utilised by the body more easily than a single isolated drug. For this reason the herbalist uses the herbs in their most natural form.

There is an enormous body of modern scientific data on medicinal plants to support the use of Herbal Medicine as an effective medicine, either as an alternative or to complement pharmaceutical drugs. So modern herbalists draw from centuries of gathered knowledge of plants and their medicinal effects while scientific validation of these is gradually catching up.
