Wholistic Health Group

What is Herbal Medicine?
Herbal Medicine is a complementary health modality designed to increase your well being and quality of life. Herbal Extracts provide vital and supportive actions which strengthen your physiological functions and recuperative abilities.

Our wholistic approach
We treat you as a person and not an illness or condition, therefore addressing and working with the underlying cause.
No two people are the same. Even when people present with similar symptoms the underlying causal dysfunction can be very different.
There is no one way. Every person will find the best way that suits their needs. Herbal medicine can support every form of healing and self discovery.
The wholistic approach is an integration and collaboration of each and every facet of life, health and illness which includes recognition of your predisposition.

What may I expect in a consultation?
During your initial session, we will take a detailed case history including medical history, life style, diet, stress factors, current medications and supplements and of course the presenting problem.

Iridology assesses constitutional strengths and weaknesses and observes the possible underlying cause of an issue. A photograph is taken of the iris for analysis and to show you what we can learn from your iris.
Muscle testing is used to affirm appropriate herbal combinations and test possible allergies.
The herbal remedy (no ready made formulas used), is prepared in front of you. Each ingredient is named and explained. You are considered individually and no two remedies are the same.
Small doses are used to stimulated the body’s healing response.
Nutrition and supplement advice – To guide you towards the right diet or eating plan. Eg Blood Type diet, low reactive diet (gluten and dairy free), liver and gut detoxification diet. Supplements may or may not be required, however we guide you towards effective brands and effective use.
