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.

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

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

No to Statins
I am so pleased I was introduced to Andrea Hughes as my Doctor prescribed Statins and I had bad side effects in the liver. Since seeing Andrea and taking the Herbs my cholesterol levels have gone down considerably with no side effects. She also added extra herbs to help relieve Arthritis in my wrist which is no longer a problem. I have just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and again she has helped me. Thanks Andrea.

No to Statins

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

Chronic illness a year on..
You have been so extraordinarily good with me, giving me absolutely top-notch, end-to-end, science-based advice. You have also been gently supportive and encouraging in the most warmly humanistic way imaginable. I just can’t thank you enough. The comparison with where I am today and where I was just a year ago is truly breath-taking. Thank you! Although I shall be in touch with occasional emails, I don’t plan on making a further appointment for the foreseeable future, but it is enormously rea… Read more

Looking to get my energy back...
I approached Andrea suffering from Adrenal Fatigue, which was persistent and was impacting significantly on my activities so I did what was necessary, but had no energy to enjoy other activities. Armed with my food diary and a recent blood test, my initial consultation was impressive – discussing all concerns with a very approachable Andrea, who explained clearly what she felt were pertinent issues, came up with a treatment protocol of supplements, herbs, diet and self-help, with a couple of … 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

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
