Medical Herbalism
Start your path to health and healing with Herbal Medicine
As a Medical Herbalist I prescribe herbs, in combination and according to their actions, to provide your body with specific help to work against disease and return it to balance. My focus is upon how you experience an illness, circumstances or life event to create a treatment plan in the context of you. I offer patient specific herbal formula, dietary and nutritional supplement advice and natural therapeutic routines .
I am clinically trained in pathology, physiology, anatomy and drug/ herb interactions to safely dispense prescription herbs which I do within a naturopathic approach. A naturopathic approach addresses the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of those who come for care.
I use a therapeutic approach also where I am there to listen to you. My role is to engage your innate ability to self heal and take ownership of your healing process. As my patient you will be active in your healing, making lifestyle and dietary changes that will become your resource for longer term health. You will understand yourself and your body better.
Health is not simply the absence of symptoms that let us know something is wrong, it is a positive state we should work towards, Medical Herbalism is for preventative care too. Herbs are tonics for life that energize, tone, cleanse and balance our physical and energetic body. You may see me for these principles and to help achieve a healthy lifestyle goal or fitness plan.
Iridology I use as a natural diagnostic, your iris pictures enable me to assess where medicinal, nutritional and therapeutic support is best focused.
Conditions I commonly treat include menopause, stress, anxiety and grief, insomnia, high blood pressure, urinary infections, kidney disease, digestive diseases, respiratory illness, reflux, type II diabetes, thyroid conditions and infertility. Treatment plans for serious illness are also available.
I am registered professionally by The Irish Association of Master Medical Herbalists www.iammh.com
My practice may be the supportive care you’ve been looking for to achieve the difference you want to feel. I look forward to meeting you in Glendalough or Greystones.
