Elderflower

After the rain today, the distinct aroma of Elder Flowers infused the air up on the downs! You would be forgiven for thinking that this Herbalist spends all her time out in Nature! I do have Clinic’s and a dispensary to run, but I do also have a dog, hence the wonderful daily walk’s! The […]

Plantago

A beautiful Sussex morning up on the south downs, I took the opportunity to gather some of the extremely abundant and lush ribwort plantain or Plantago lanceolata. An extremely useful herb, plantago can be mixed with elderflowers, eyebright and chamomile to make a tasty and effective hayfever tea. Here it’s action is anti- histamine and […]

PMDD and Periods
Andrea was recommended to me as I have been struggling with PMDD since I was a teenager. I have been to my GP about my periods since I was 15, even speaking to a Gynecologist. There was absolutely no help and I felt so hopeless that I would experience PMDD forever. Andra recommended doing a DNA test for neurotransmitter pathways, as well as vitamin tests and from the results, we could see what I needed and why I was experiencing the symptoms that were happening around my period. After a … Read more

Hashimoto's
I want to shout from the roof tops – I am SO MUCH BETTER I have worked with Andrea for a few years on fibroids, adrenal weakness and for the past 3 years on an autoimmune thyroid condition, from which point I embarked on both a huge change to my diet as well as taking herbs and supplements. I was VERY debilitated, unable to work at all, pacing myself through the day with a lot of rest alongside feeling utterly dreadful for days on end.
I have made slow progress and improvements as well as s… Read more

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

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

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

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
