A wonderful time in the country ✨

Let’s talk about food..

How are you fuelling yourself? Is this something you struggle with?

Nutrition is the basis of health- and with a strong base, you’re giving herbal remedies the best chance to help you heal.

However, finding balance with health & food can be challenging for a lot of people.
If you don’t know where to start- let’s start here together!

As a traditional medical practitioner- I love & highly recommend a traditional diet of local foods, high quality proteins & nourishing fats- minimally processed & delicious!
& most of all it’s easy- you don’t need long complicated recipes or hundreds of ingredients to eat healthy food- you may even find eating simpler is the key 🔑

If you’re interested to learn more about finding health through nutrition- comment/ message me.

I’d love to make guides/ workshops/ support groups to help you with this- and building a supportive community along with it 🤍

Sending love,

🔑 to Health..

Fulfilment & Happiness in your life!

Modern medicine focuses only on the body & mind- but health is much more than that.
Old practices of wellness say that the health of our bodies- the microcosm - reflects the world around us- the macrocosm ✨

Aside from the food & medicine you take- ask yourself how else you nourish yourself?
Do you laugh often, do you dance and sing, spend time and love those around you, do you look at the world & feel at peace

Try it, go on 🤗

Connection in Herbal Medicine (Part 2)

One of the aspects I find so so important in Herbal Medicine is how it can bring connection and awareness back into the body, cultivating a deeper relationship and appreciation for yourself.
Herbs can help you feel empowered in your healing & in your body.

The modern world, with its diagnoses and prescription pharmaceuticals, can externalises our imbalances. By giving them a name, a diagnosis, it can make us feel like there is this ‘other’ in our bodies- that the diagnosis is separate to us, an enemy invader- something which then needs an external substance to ‘get rid of it’.
And of course that can lead us to feel like we don’t have control over our bodies, they are working against us, they are letting us down.

But this simply isn’t true- and this way of thinking only serves to make us unhappy and reliant on prescription medications that only just help us get by.

Here’s the truth- your body is designed to repair, regenerate and heal itself. We are highly advanced, self-preserving, intelligent beings.

Pharmaceuticals work by suppressing your symptoms.

Herbal medicines work by supporting your body’s natural processes.

Sometimes we just need a little extra help to do what we are designed to do.

Our aim as herbalists is to help your body repair itself- to HEAL from your illness, and bring balance back into the body.

So let’s reframe that idea that your illness is your body working against you.
Your body wants to thrive, to heal and repair- but it can only do this if it has everything it needs.
A car can’t run without fuel.
A herbalist can assess your health, see where and why there are imbalances, and can give you herbs to help.

And with the right fuel, your body can repair and heal itself.
Isn’t that amazing - isn’t that something that should be celebrated & respected!

Through healing we can learn to love & respect ourselves.
Herbal medicine can help us reconnect 🤍
& bring us home 🤍
Back to ourselves 🤍

Healing is often a slow art 🌷
Even in our fast paced world, that’s one thing that hasn’t changed.
Being able to slow down and be patient with yourself through your healing journey is so important and will help you in the long run.
Slowing down is also where healing can begin- we can either listen to our body or our body will make us listen- recognising a problem can be in calm or crisis - and in the calm is usually better- we can pick up the subtle signs of unbalance before they overtake us.
So here’s a little exercise for you~ take a few moments to yourself, make a cup of tea, sit down and feel into your body - how are you feeling really?

C O N N E C T I O N 🌿 ~ (Part 1)

Herbal medicine, like all other holistic therapies focuses on connection in your treatment & healing.

So let’s talk about connection..

Everything in your body is connected- all of your systems communicate and their function/dysfunction can have knock on effects.
This is why we take great care in your first appointment to understand how your body works as a whole- to find the connection between your symptoms and the root cause of your issue.

Why is this important?

Because our aim as Herbalists is HEALING & REPAIR, supporting your body to be able to do this.
We do not want to mask or block your symptoms so you can ‘just carry on’- that maintains the imbalance.
We use herbs to bring BALANCE back into your body, so it can function properly the way it wants to.
Your body is not something which is wrong and needs to be changed- it is intelligent & designed to be able to repair itself— more about that in PART 2 (coming soon)

Tea, Tincture, Oxymel, Glycerate, Infused Oil, Ointment, Powder, Pills…

There are many different preparations we use in Herbal Medicine 🌿

As well as your herbal blend being bespoke, we can make the form of your medicine bespoke too!

Tea is a slower soothing healing practice 🫖
Tinctures work well to deliver a powerful extraction which can be taken twice a day in a little water 💧
Herbal powders can be added to food & drinks 🥛

Herbalists work with YOU to make an achievable treatment plan you can easily add into your life.

✨Guide to your first Herbal Medicine Consultation✨🌿

If you’ve never seen a Herbalist before, and don’t know what to expect?
Feel a little daunted or nervous before booking your appointment?
This post is for you!

This isn’t your regular 5-10 minute doctors appointment…

We as herbalists are dedicated to finding and treating the ROOT CAUSE of your health issues to help your body REPAIR & HEAL.

We take our time, we listen & we support you through your healing journey 🤍

In your first consultation, we will talk about your primary health complaint;
🌱when you began to feel unwell?
🌱what you have tried to treat it with?
🌱what makes it better or worse?
We want to get to know the NATURE of your issue.

Then we will do a full HOLISTIC HEALTH ASSESSMENT - which means asking & learning about the health of the different systems of your body- digestive, cardiovascular, skin etc.

We will also talk about diet & lifestyle, which have such a big impact on your health and your body.

My goal in my practice is PATIENT EMPOWERED HEALING & I want to work with you to make your health goals and treatment plan ✨

Depending on your preference I will then make up a BESPOKE herbal medicine - this could be a tincture or a tea - carefully chosen & formulated to treat YOU as an INDIVIDUAL (I am planning a future post about this).
& offer some lifestyle/ dietary guidance if appropriate.

As your healing journey is a JOURNEY- I will do regular check ins with you to see how you are getting on & make any necessary changes.

As your Herbalist I am here to support you. Please feel welcome to come to me with any questions, queries or if you need some extra support or assurance. I am more than happy to help 🤗

I hope this had helped you understand how I work, and what you can expect a little better
Message me with any questions you may have 🤍

Sending love,
Sophie xo
