Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine has been used safely and effectively by millions of people worldwide for thousands of years as their primary medical model.
I have a dispensary stocked with over 100 liquid herbs sourced from Avicenna in Wales and Mediherb from Australia. These fluid extracts and tinctures of the root, flower, bark or leaf of plants have powerful actions working on multiple systems of the body at once.
Making a herbal formula for someone is both an art and a science and each bottle typically contains 4-5 different herbs.
Many herbs have multiple actions so we can work on digestive issues at the same time as anxiety. For example Matricaria recutita or Chamomile is a strong tasting bitter herb that has carminative actions for IBS but also nervine qualities to support the nervous system.
“Laura definitely knows her stuff – she’s friendly, patient and supportive. I am delighted that now 2.5 months after taking the herbal tincture she made I felt calmer and my symptoms were much improved. That is also reflected in my thyroid blood work – everything is back in range now.”
