Herbal Medicine Safety

Is Herbal Medicine safe?

Western Herbal Medicine has an outstanding safety record.

Modern Medical Herbalists draw upon both traditional and Historical knowledge of Herbs as well as the scientific research which shows us how some herbs work with the body.

Your Herbalist has been trained to know of any possible Herb/Drug interactions, although in reality these are few in number and severity.

A Medical Herbalist will always aim to work alongside your G.P. and many herbs are regularly prescribed to support other treatments.

Like all Medicines, Herbs are to be treated with respect and there is no substitute for a consultation with a qualified Medical Herbalist both in terms of advice and the quality of the Herbal Medicines prescribed.

First Aid Kit Workshop, Fiona - Worthing
A fabulous workshop with handouts of relevant information. Andrea makes the session fun, whilst sharing her love and knowledge of herbalism in an interactive way. Being able to make products to bring home was just superb, I look forward to the next one!

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

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.

Changed our lives..
Dear Andrea This is a huge success story….. As you may remember,my Son had experienced stomach pain every night for nearly 10 years. The hospital prescribed Ranitidine to contain the pain. At first it seemed to help but then didn’t help at all. We came to you. You recommended to steer clear of gluten at first. Then we decided on a stool sample. This showed yeast and low good bacteria. His stomach pain eased almost immediately with your treatment, but every 5 days or so a painful… Read more

Solving recurrent ear infections
Location: West Sussex I’ve attended Andrea’s brilliant and insightful workshops for a while now. Having used herbal medicine myself a while ago to overcome fertility issues I had no hesitation to look to Andrea when my 6 year old kept suffering from recurrent ear infections. She’d had three lots of antibiotics to “cure” these over a six month period and every 8 weeks she would seem to get another ear infection. We met with Andrea and were prescribed not only herbs but knowledge about the … 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.
