West Sussex Herb Group May ’11

,

It was lovely to see how much our plants had grown since our first real planting session last time.
We were also faced with an interesting array of weeds, some of them treasures that we decided to keep – Soapwort and Poppy mainly, no thanks to the Dungweed and Rape!

Last month we planted Calendula, Thyme, Lavender, Rosemary, Mugwort, Clary Sage, Mullien and Sage!

After a good weeding session we sat in the sunshine by the Apothecary’s Garden with the pleasant sound of trickling water and a well deserved cup of Lemon balm tea, we discussed plant families, touched on the use of heart remedies -mainly Digitalis, Rose and Hawthorn.

Time to go back to work! New additions to our garden today: German and Roman Chamomile, Hyssop for our border ( need more!) Lemon balm and Parsley.

Next meeting is an evening one: 9th June 7pm-9pm we hope to plant some Hops! Martin has agreed to put some tall poles in as they like to grow high!!

All welcome to next meeting- hope to see you there!

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. Following a DNA test, my energy levels have been restored, I am feeling ‘back to normal’ and getting on wi… 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

I don’t know whether you remember me, but I came to you about 18 months ago because I had had recurrent miscarriages.

I am so grateful to you for all your help, and especially for linking together a lot of my medical issues. My irritable bowel has also been much better since your treatment. Thanks again for all you did, I will definatly recommend you to friends and fa… 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.
