Herbalism

"The Earth reveals its bounty through its healing wisdom"

Graduating from the London School of Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture in 1993 I predominantly use Chinese Herbal formulae in the form of capsules or granules (powder) along with a few Western herbal tinctures.

I use Traditional Chinese Medicine and Classical methods to diagnose patterns of imbalance, rather than the Western approach of treating disease labels. This approach is holistic and gentle and helps restore vitality or remove obstructions to health. There are no masking of symptoms, rather I seek to establish the reasons for an imbalance created over time or in the present moment from various emotional or other stressors. Essentially how we participate in our experiences in life determines our health outcomes.

Detoxification

Our environment is literally bathed in toxins which come from our foods, the air we breathe or the water we drink as well as other routes. They take the form of chemicals of various descriptions such as pesticides or heavy metals and much more. The body attempts to eliminate these so that they can no longer do harm. If the body is overwhelmed then there is an attempt to place these toxins at deeper and deeper levels where they can do less harm, so protecting vital organs and overall function. Eventually even this can fail and disease follows. So it is really important to assist the detoxification and clearance process as part of any treatment.

Using OLIGOSCAN (see separate section) can provide important information about heavy metal toxicity.

Functional testing is also available for such things as Glyphosate.
