Herbal Medicine in more detail.

I have seen how herbal medicine has helped so many people who have had difficulty with conventional treatments due to major side effects, allergies, drug resistance, lack of viable treatment options or conditions with no clear medical diagnosis. Many of them have gained significant health and wellbeing improvement through use of herbal formulars putting their life back on track. I believe the ancient wisdom of herbs belongs to the world and everyone deserves the benefits it offers.

 

Ways to integrate herbs into your daily life may look like making a cup of tea every morning and planting a herb garden. The more you work with herbs, the more you experience their smells, flavours and textures. Some easy ways to get started are adding herbs in your cooking or taking my liquid herbal extracts as tinctures.

 

At the heart of the practice of herbal medicine is the understanding that we as humans have an extraordinary, in-built, natural intelligence that knows how to self-repair from illness or injury. The medicinal benefits of herbs have been known for centuries. Over countless of generations, our ancestors have learnt, refined, and passed on vital knowledge about which herbs could reliably ease suffering or help remove such obstacles to self-repair. Records of Native American, Roman, Egyptian, Persian and Hebrew medical practices show that herbs were used extensively to treat practically every known illness.

 

Today, the World Health Organisation recognises that herbs are still, by far, the most widespread form of medicine used on our planet. The great test of time has proven which herbal medicines work, now the tests of science are helping us to understand how they work, and in that process, new possibilities continue to come to light.  

 

Historically, most herbal medicines were given in the form of teas or decoctions, where the herbs are steeped or simmered in water. In today’s world it is common for herbalists to use doses of concentrated tinctures and extracts in liquid form.

 

Plants are rich in a variety of compounds that have been used in medications for thousands of years. From phenols to antibiotics to new emerging cancer treatments, naturally occurring compounds are an excellent source of healing for modern medicine.
