Update on returning to ‘In Person’ Consultations – July 2020

Andrea Hughes Herbal Medicine

As restrictions begin to ease and more business are reopening I have been issued with some guidelines from our Herbal Medicine Regulatory Organisations.

From 13th July we have been advised that we may see patients face to face and undertake physical examinations provided we have all the appropriate mitigations in place

We must undertake a risk assessment and create a Covid Secure plan. I must ensure that appropriate PPE is worn by myself and my patient and ensure the Consultation is kept as short as possible.
Any Patients attending an ‘in person’ consultation must complete a consent form.

I am working on my Covid-Secure policy and hope to begin to slowly see some patients in person from August. However, as safety of my patients is my priority, I am keeping these appointments limited to those who are unable to work with me remotely.
Therefore the majority of my Consultations will remain via Skype or Zoom until further notice

I continue to either post prescriptions or give socially distanced doorstep collections only.

Healthy thoughts,

Andrea

Testimonials

Fantastic workshop
Hi Andrea, Thank you so much for a fantastic workshop! I really enjoyed it – I’m sure we all did! I’m enjoying those wonderful bottles of syrup magic – I’ve never tasted anything more delicious – tastes of the countryside, sunshine, fresh air, of the pulse of life. You gave us lots of info, and lots to think about. Collected a few rosehips today too, on the Downs. I’d love to do more workshops – even if the subject isn’t something I’d necessarily do at home, it broadens one’s understa… Read more

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!

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

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

Relief From Migraines & Allergies
I went to Andrea to help with relief of migraines and allergies. Migraines have blighted my life since I was a child but the allergies are relatively new occurrence in the past few years. I have never found anything that help the migraines which had become increasingly regular, sometimes as often as once a week, and although I was on daily high dosage anti histamine I was still getting violent reactions to all manner of things. Eleven weeks later no migraines. One allergic reaction which thanks … Read more

IBS
Andrea has helped me change my life. I was diagnosed with IBS by the doctor and left for four years on tables that didn’t work. Also I had a fungal infection on one toe nail which the GP couldn’t help with either. Andrea gave me some herbs and these have done more in a month than the GP’s medicine has done in years. My Digestion is improved dramatically and my toe nail fungus has also improved. Andrea is very friendly and helpful goes beyond her duty to help her clients and its a pleasure to … Read more

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
