Recovery from low immunity
After I retired I was exhausted and after pneumonia and another chest infection I had shingles. I had got over the worst of the virus but the symptoms never seemed to leave me completely and after the fourth recurrence I was desperate for some relief and a return of at least some of my lost energy. I had never experienced Medical Herbalism before but I immediately found Andrea to be understanding and knowledgeable. After several months taking the herbal medicines I am relieved to have at last sh… Read more
Integral to my Motherhood Journey
I first met Andrea a few years ago during one of her herbal walks at Culberry Nursery. I immediately felt her light, joy and kindness – making herbalism sound so effective and magical, yet accessible. I’ve taken some of her wonderful workshops, and she has been an extremely integral part of my motherhood journey – from the very beginning right through to the present…and my daughter is now almost four years old! She has also been a wonderful, generous and supportive friend. I cannot recomme… Read more
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.
Macular Degeneration
I had my annual eye test yesterday and it’s good news. The macular degeneration is no worse and even slightly better!! Well done with your special herbs. Thank you.
Sleeping after 4 very long years!
My daughter ( now nearly 5 ) has suffered with very disturbed sleep, ( waking 8-10 times a night, for 4 years ) bumpy skin , tummy aches , highly strung and generally not a happy child since the day she was born – have tried numerous trips to doctors and other health practitioner’s (spending lots of money and getting nowhere) and finally came across Andrea who to us is a heaven sent angel as she diagnosed Millie with intolerances to dairy, soya , egg and goats milk – 6 weeks on with an eliminati… Read more
Sjögren’s Syndrome
I’ve lost count of the different specialists who have tried to help me alleviate the varied symptoms of Sjögren’s Syndrome – and the accompanying pain and discomfort. Relief from it all came only if one accepted unwelcome side effects from prescription pain killers, whose effectiveness diminished over time. Seeing Andrea has enabled me to change all that. Her methodical approach, drawing on a mix of hard science and ancient lore, has been holistic in the sense that she treated me, not my illn… 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
NO MORE NIGHT SWEATS
I am 55 – had severe sleep disturbing night sweats for more than 6months. Stress related alopecia areata, no energy, and a bit down in the dumps. Andrea addressed possible culprits and I had a blood test through medicheck. Easy and convenient, fast results. Since taking the herb mixture prescribed and given by Andrea my night sweats was a past experience. No more changing clothes at night! My hair is growing back, and energy improving. I am nothing less than grateful. Andrea has huge knowledge… Read more
Spring Workshop April 2014
Some comments from some of the participants… That was a wonderful workshop thank you very much indeed. I do love having all these potions to shake and stir. Your enthusiasm and energy are so inspirational and your philosophy on plants and life. Please keep me posted of any further courses; so interesting. And think I’ve found my new herbalist!! Thanks again; it was inspiring and a spring tonic in every way! Hope to see you again soon.
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
