Commendation

I cannot recommend Andrea Hughes highly enough. Her level of expertise is impressive and she combines such knowledge with compassion and a capacity for listening. I have every reason to be grateful for Andrea’s support when suffering from health issues. If you have health concerns I urge you to be good to yourself and to contact Andrea. You will not regret it.

Healthier & Happier!

I am so happy to have discovered Andrea! I had been suffering for so long before with various problems including recurrent thrush, very low mood and PMS symptoms and many gut-related issues which have now almost completely disappeared. Where doctors before had just told me that all these symptoms were chronic, or prescribed antibiotics which seemed to make things worse, Andrea took time to identify exactly what was going on in my body and to plan a treatment that took in to account all aspects of my health.

I feel so so much better and now know the importance of my gut health and its connection to everything else. My treatment plan involved supplements, tinctures which Andrea made up especially for my symptoms, as well as a gluten free diet, which all together have improved my health hugely. I think it’s really good value for money and Andrea is so compassionate and very knowledgable, I highly recommend her!

High Blood Pressure

Andrea was recommended to me by a friend. I saw her in relation to my high blood pressure, which had been pointed out by the hospital, as they were dealing with my collapsed lung.
Needless to say they wanted to deal with the problem with drugs and more drugs. Andrea was a revelation, my blood pressure has reduced to healthy levels and has remained there after a very short time. I now don’t need to take anything. Thanks Andrea.

The Magic of Herbs

Andrea was recommended to me just over 5 years ago following major surgery and some gruelling chemotherapy for pancreactic cancer.

She has supported me since then with her vast knowledge and wisdom, prescribing her wonderful herbs and tailoring them to my changing needs as the years have gone by.

I have made the sort of progress I never dreamed possible and this year has been amazing. Following a DNA test, my energy levels have been restored, I am feeling ‘back to normal’ and getting on with my life.

Andrea is so kind and compassionate and I will be forever grateful to her for helping me through a very difficult period in my life.

Andrea has changed my life!

I am 38 and have struggled with fatigue what feels like my whole life.
Andrea has helped me and has changed my life, i am so grateful that i was introduced to Andrea from a friend. I have seen many doctors privately and through the NHS who have always come to a dead end.
Andrea has prescribed me supplements and herbs which within 1 week I noticed a HUGE difference. I feel like a human again!
I am continuing forward with Andrea and can’t wait to see more changes which i have full confidence will happen.

Splitting skin on my fingers
Location: West Sussex. I suffered eighteen agonising months of the skin on my fingers splitting for no apparent reason….. suddenly a stinging pain and I could watch my skin split open and bleed..not only on my finger tips but anywhere on my fingers. I made several visits to my GP who prescribed a variety of ointments and creams, I changed shampoo, soap, washing machine powder/liquid all to no avail. I had an appointment with a Dermatologist who arranged allergy tests and that also was a waste of… Read more

inflammation
I’m a 57 year old male, had no history of illness, full on active. At age 54 I developed dry eyes, and what seemed to be systemic inflammation. Tendons and ligaments hurt and I was prone to niggling muscle injuries. I began treatment with Herba Medica. Following various tests, turns out I had some significant imbalance in my gut biome. Andrea started me on a treatment plan. 18 months in I am feeling way better, like things are calming down, injuries are fewer, very little tendon pain. It’s a ste… Read more

Autoimmune Diet for Rheumatoid Arthritis
I am currently on day 6 of the Diet and it’s working! Unbelievably for me I am sticking to it, especially given my inner rebel and sceptic! I had a rocky start but then really knuckled down and have 100% stuck to it and the pains in my fingers and toes have almost totally gone! My body no longer feels like i have permanently been hit by a bus, full of aches and pains. The mornings are most significant in that normally, before the diet I had to lever myself out of bed as if I was a lump of le… Read more

Acid Reflux
I was diagnosed with a hiatus hernia, and on another endoscopy , they found a pool of bile in the stomach. Both endoscopes were due to symptoms of pain, discomfort and reflux . I was given Omeprazole 20-40 mgs over several years. Reading on the Internet the problems encountered from long term proton pump inhibitors, I was delighted when I started Herbal Treatment with Andrea which included balancing my whole digestion. The reflux has now resolved and I am symptom free and off the Omeprazole. I … Read more

Everything seems to make sense and tie in perfectly
Everything seems to make sense and tie in perfectly.  You know I have only felt the anxious feelings a couple of days since starting the herbs and that was just before my period a week ago – and really mild This is the best month I have had for at least 6months – so something must be working! I am so grateful for all your help. The anxiety/moods really were taking over my life – affecting my relationship with my partner and the kids!

Shingles
After suffering several outbreaks of very painful skin eruptions over a period of about 18 months which doctors could not explain but prescribed antibiotics for, I went to see Andrea. She recognised the skin problem as shingles and prescribed herbs which stopped further outbreaks. It has been almost 2 years now without any further occurrence. Andrea also helped diagnose a severe vitamin deficiency which has now been remedied. I am so lucky to know such a special, caring healer. Thank you Andrea

Sensitive & kind
I don’t know whether you remember me, but I came to you about 18 months ago because I had had recurrent miscarriages. After a course of treatment you gave me, I conceived at the beginning of the year, and have just had a beautiful little boy. I am so grateful to you for all your help, and especially for linking together a lot of my medical issues. My irritable bowel has also been much better since your treatment. Thanks again for all you did, I will definatly recommend you to friends and fa… Read more

The Herbalist who saved Christmas
I have never written a testimonial as I am not one for sharing on computers but today I realised there must be many mums, wives,people going through the same pre christmas franticness that I am. After many years of working together wonderful Andrea has helped me get better by being not just a herbalist but an amazing teacher of life. Breathe through christmas and bathe in epsom salts thank you Andrea for reminding me life is so simple if you let it be.
