What can Herbal Medicine Treat?

Herbal Medicine can assist the body in regaining health and in essence can help almost any condition because it is the individual that is being treated, not the ‘label’ or the ‘illness’

Holistic Treatment for the Individual, Not the Label

It is true holistic medicine that encompasses all factors in a persons story, including the past medical history, family history, lifestyle and dietary factors, emotional factors and life circumstances.

I see and successfully help a wide variety of conditions in my practice, the examples below are some of them.
The list is by no means exhaustive and if you do not see your symptoms or condition listed there and wish to speak with me before booking an appointment please do call or email.

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

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!

No More Rash!
About time I left a testimonial for one of the very few people I actually admire and respect. I had suffered with an awful skin condition (Erythema Multiforme) for a few years before seeing Andrea and the medics could do nothing for me. It caused me so much stress, which just exacerbated the condition. Anyway, Andrea cleared my problem within a couple of months and that was a few years’ ago. She is truly a special lady with a strong desire to help all those she meets. Could go on – can’t p… Read more

No to Statins
I am so pleased I was introduced to Andrea Hughes as my Doctor prescribed Statins and I had bad side effects in the liver. Since seeing Andrea and taking the Herbs my cholesterol levels have gone down considerably with no side effects. She also added extra herbs to help relieve Arthritis in my wrist which is no longer a problem. I have just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and again she has helped me. Thanks Andrea.

The comparison with where I am today and where I was just a year ago is truly breath-taking. Thank you! Although I shall be in touch with occasional emails, I don’t plan on making a further appointment for the foreseeable future, but it is enormously rea… Read more
