Better Digestion and no Omeprazole!
Hi Andrea Just wanted to let you know how much better I’m feeling! The last few days I’ve felt actual hunger, something I haven’t felt for months. Your wonderful herbs and particularly I feel, the Agrimony, are doing wonders. I’m off the omeprazole now ( for almost a week) and no repercussions. I’m sticking to wheat and dairy free with the exception of a little goat cheese, no bright stools at all. This lovely lady presented with a history of medication of proton pump inhibitors, s… 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

Back to normal
Following almost 20 years of surgery, antibiotics and steroids for sinusitis, I became extremely run down, caught Pneumonia and almost died. I spent 10 days in hospital. Thank goodness for the NHS and their life saving care. Yet it was Andrea and her herbs (the girls!) that allowed me to live my life again. It has now been over a year since my first visit to her calm and quiet surgery. I always look forward to going. Since the first visit, my health and energy improved and continues to do so.… Read more

Staying off Anti-Depressants
I will always be grateful for having met Andrea. I was introduced to her some years ago for help in coming off antidepressants which I had been taking on and off for years. I had failed a number of times trying to come off them the conventional way and was ready to try a different approach. I am so glad that I did! With Andrea’s lovely herbs, teas and recommendations I have been anti-depressant free for over five years and feel more confident and happy.

Perimenopause
When the first signs of perimenopause arrived I knew that I should do something to help myself. My Mum had a really rough time with her transition to menopause and ended up taking HRT which has never been on my list of acceptable treatments for many reasons. My first port of call was always going to be Andrea, who is the gentlest, kindest and most generous of medical practitioners that I have ever come across. Within two weeks of starting to take my herbal medicine my symptoms were r… Read more

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

Autoimmune Diet for Rheumatoid Arthritis
I am currently on day 6 of the Diet and it’s working! Unbelievably for me I am sticking to it, especially given my inner rebel and sceptic! I had a rocky start but then really knuckled down and have 100% stuck to it and the pains in my fingers and toes have almost totally gone! My body no longer feels like i have permanently been hit by a bus, full of aches and pains. The mornings are most significant in that normally, before the diet I had to lever myself out of bed as if I was a lump of le… Read more
