Herbs

 

Herbalism is the tradition of treating the body’s ailments with naturally growing plants.

 

In recent years the increase in awareness of these wonderful plants has led to scientific research confirming what herbalists have known for hundreds of years. Used wisely and appropriately, herbs will assist the body to heal the dis-ease and return it to its natural balance.

 

Within the clinic I work with herbal tinctures, powders, capsules and teas with a range of over 150 different herbs. The majority of herbs used within my clinic are grown in the UK on a biodynamic organic farm, which honours the relationship between the planetary influences on plant life and the rhythms of nature. Where it is not possible to obtain an organic alternative conventionally grown herbs are sourced from suppliers who ensure ethical and sustainable practice.

 

 

Natural Healing

 

Natural healing involves assessing dietary patterns which when correctly followed compliment and assist the work of the herbs, by giving your body the best possible conditions in which to heal itself.  Natural healing also involves treatments such as skin brushing, caster oil pack and hot and cold treatments. Recommendations vary according to each individuals needs. 

 

Iridology

 

Iridology is used as an aid to diagnosis. By studying the iris of the eye I am able to understand and treat the pathways of your condition more accurately. I will then select a course of treatment which will be of most benefit using herbs, natural healing, thermo auricular therapy or massage.

 

Initial consultations which combine herbs, natural healing and iridology last approximately 1 hour. Follow up sessions are usually on a monthy basis and last for half an hour.

 

 

Massage

Massage is one of the oldest and simplest of medical treatments, rubbing an aching shoulder or soothing a furrowed brow is a healing instinct common to all cultures. The physical benefits, such as improved circulation, relaxed muscles and the psychological feelings of being comforted produce a sense of well being which is unique. Whatever your condition massage will help to ease pain and stress, both physical and emotional, while aiding relaxation and sleep. It is an excellent way to detoxify and balance body systems.

 

A full body massage lasts for 1 hour. Back neck and shoulder massage 1/2 hour.

 

Indian Head Massage

Indian Head massage can be done anywhere, without the need for oils or for clothing to be removed, it is the manipulation of the soft tissue with marvelous benefits for people of all ages.

Indian Head Massage improves blood circulation to the neck, head and shoulders, helping the brain to function more efficiently and harmoniously. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, which aids the removal of waste products from the body dispersing toxins from all systems. Massage generally improves skin tone, encouraging skin regeneration and muscle tone, relieves eyestrain, ear ache and brightens the eyes while releasing tight muscles of the head, neck and shoulders, the cause headaches and insomnia. Indian Head Massage also relieves mental tiredness; anxiety and stress, restoring energy flow in the body and leaving you feeling calm and balanced.

Hopi Ear Candles

Ear candles create a vacuum-like pressure, which combined with the vibration of the rising air column, gently massages the eardrum and promotes secretions in the sinuses. The locally applied warmth stimulates the blood circulation, and the immune system, releasing toxins from the lymph glands. At the same time important acupressure and reflex zones are stimulated, while the cleansing fire of the candles releases negative vibrations and helps to harmonise the energy status.

Hopi Ear Candles contain chamomile, sage and St.Johns wort, a combination of herbs, which has been used for centuries for their specific healing properties and effectiveness in treating problems of the head and ear. Ear Candles are excellent in the treatment of a whole range of ear, nose and throat problems. A relaxing and balancing facial massage follows treatment.
