What is Herbal Medicine?

It is important to remember our first medicines were herbs, and our ancestors found remedies in all parts of the world in their natural surroundings. Since then, science has proven that constituents in plants have medicinal properties.

Herbal medicine empowers you to take a more active role in your wellbeing. To get the full benefit of medicinal herbs it is best to integrate them within an holistic approach; one that looks at addressing the root cause of disharmony in body and mind.

What happens during a consultation?

The first consultation with Marie and Sophie will last an hour and a half. Presenting symptoms will be discussed in depth before each system in the body is addressed with thorough questioning, and a significant look at your health history, from childhood to present day. Various analyses of pulse, tongue, eyes, nails, and skin will take place towards the end of the session.

What happens next?

After your first consultation, Sophie and Marie will review your case together and devise a personalised treatment plan just for you, which usually includes dietary advice, supplementation suggestions and lifestyle modifications alongside your unique herbal prescription (tinctures, teas, powders, creams, capsules or Bach Flower Remedies). Your bespoke treatment plan and herbal formula will be delivered to you within 48 hours.
