I pursued my love of plants and qualified as a Medical Herbalist in 1998, after a research career in bioscience. Whilst studying Herbal Medicine, I served an apprenticeship at Napiers Herbalists in Edinburgh, one of the oldest herbal houses in the UK.
On qualifying, I became a Member of The National Institute of Medical Herbalists (MNIMH). In 2004, I trained as a clinical aromatherapist, using essential oils in combination with massage to enhance well-being.
I work with patients to help raise awareness of their own health and wellbeing. I find plant medicines a powerful tool to change poor health.

I practice from my dispensary and also at two multidisciplinary practices in Ruthin and Flint.
I see patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly and those with chronic health problems. I have a particular interest in treating digestive problems, women's health problems and chronic fatigue.





ABOUT HERBAL MEDICINE...

As the oldest form of medicine, Herbalism has been used all over the world for centuries, and is now also widely used in the UK. Modern medical herbalism combines centuries of knowledge with the newest scientific research.

Herbalists acknowledge that plants are complex organisms, made up of numerous active ingredients that can aid healing, all of which interact with each other in a balanced way. Conventional pharmaceutical medicine on the other hand, concentrates on identifying and extracting one single active ingredient from a plant, then chemically manufacturing it on a large scale, in laboratory conditions. I
solated from the rest of the plant's ingredients, it is thought to affect and unbalance the plant's natural healing properties, which may result in unwanted side effects. Herbal medicines therefore, are made up from whole plants, which are then combined into different remedies to suit many types of conditions.

Medical herbalists today undergo extensive training and will use the same diagnostic skills as a doctor, but take a more holistic approach.
As with other complementary therapies, herbalism aims to help the body heal itself by treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

A consultation with a herbalist will usually start with them asking you about your medical history and background, lifestyle, and if you are currently taking any medication. They will then prescribe one or more herbal preparations for your specific needs. As remedies are tailored to each person individually, different people might not be prescribed the same remedy for the same complaint. These preparations can be given in various ways - as syrups, creams, tinctures, capsules or infusions to drink in the form of tea or juices.

Herbal medicine can not only be used to treat most conditions and restore health, but can also help to rebalance the body's energy systems, and can be used as a preventative measure to maintain optimum health and happiness.

As well as in modern Western herbalism, the use of herbs is also incorporated in other holistic disciplines, such as Naturopathy, Ayurvedic medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
