Hawthorn

The Hawthorn tree or May […]

My Herbal Heart

As Valentine’s day approaches and again I notice how we are all bombarded with another commercial fray of goodies, my mind has been turning to the heart on an emotional level and how the phrase ‘heartbroken’ and ‘a joyful heart’ are actually very relevant in reflecting our emotional way of being at times in our […]

Testimonials

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.

A less painful Winter
I am looking forward to a less painful winter this year thanks to you and can’t thank-you enough from the bottom of my heart for making me feel so well and feeling life is worth living after all. I want everyone to know there IS an alternative to western medicine I just wish they would be brave enough to go with it and at least try. Even if you are on a low income you can still afford this wonderful medicine. You really are a truly wonderful person and I am lucky to know you.

Back to normal
Following almost 20 years of surgery, antibiotics and steroids for sinusitis, I became extremely run down, caught Pneumonia and almost died. I spent 10 days in hospital. Thank goodness for the NHS and their life saving care. Yet it was Andrea and her herbs (the girls!) that allowed me to live my life again. It has now been over a year since my first visit to her calm and quiet surgery. I always look forward to going. Since the first visit, my health and energy improved and continues to do so.… Read more

Relief from Digestive Issues
After many, many years of suffering an array of distressing gut problems I thankfully found Andrea. She was determined to pinpoint the root causes and steered me through various tests and herbal treatments with kindness, understanding, clarity and expertise. To finally know and understand the cause and be able to alleviate the symptoms is a huge relief both physically and mentally. I am so grateful to Andrea.

Hashimoto's
I want to shout from the roof tops – I am SO MUCH BETTER I have worked with Andrea for  a few years on fibroids, adrenal weakness and for the past 3 years on an autoimmune thyroid  condition, from which point I embarked on both a huge change to my diet as well as taking herbs and supplements. I was VERY debilitated, unable to work at all, pacing myself through the day with a lot of rest alongside feeling utterly dreadful for days on end.

Help with ME/CFS
Went to see Andrea for a consultation again yesterday. I suffer from ME, and since she has helped me in the past to feel improvement, after going through a rough patch with it recently I turned to her for some help.

Well, last night I took two of the Withania capsules before bed as she suggested and used some relaxation and… Read more
