I initially spend an hour with patients discussing their problem and taking a full medical history.

I am then able to see the root of the problem and give advice on appropriate dietary and lifestyle changes and make up a prescription of herbs specifically for them. Herbs are very gentle and their effects are often gradual and subtle as they enable the body to heal itself. Most Acute illnesses will resolve in a few days with herbs. Chronic illness may take longer – a rough guide is a month of treatment for each year you have had the illness.

Conditions  I most frequently have success with are: 

Digestive problems:
IBS, Constipation, Heartburn and Indigestion, Diverticulitis, Gallstones.

Menstrual Complaints:
Irregular, heavy or painful periods and Menopause.

Skin Problems:
Psoriasis and Eczema and infectious skin conditions like impetigo and fungal infections.

Respiratory system:
