Then go and visit this beautiful old barn in Leigh this week to experience the Bazaar Sale.
It is a feast for the eyes and soul.
Then pop next door into the pub and enjoy their curries made to celebrate the show!

It's International Women's Day
The NIMH is celebrating the role of women in healthcare and medicine - as herbalists, healers, midwives, doctors, nurses and campaigners - from ancient times to the present day.
Until the 20th century people rarely saw a doctor. Traditionally medical care from birth to death was provided by women in the community.
The modern herbalist (men and women) continues to provide community healthcare but nowadays your herbalist has undergone extensive training in the science and art of herbal medicine (not available to the women healers in history).
There has never been a better time to consult a qualified medical herbalist

What Does Stress Mean To You?

Many of us experience stress on a daily basis in one form or another. However, when do we know when it has become too much?
I always try to teach my individual patients to ‘Listen to their bodies’ pick up the messages they are sending out.
Has your digestion started causing problems, maybe urgency or acid indigestion - Is your sleep quality impaired - Are you feeling lethargic and unmotivated - Maybe excess aches and pains.

Don’t ignore these signs but take immediate action.

I am a Medical Herbalist qualified to diagnose and prescribe Botanical Medicine on an individual basis. If you feel the stresses in your life are becoming overbearing, why not call me in the first instance to see if Herbal Medicine would be the correct solution for you.
