Herbal Medicine
Herbal remedies have been trusted for centuries to support healing across a wide range of physical and mental health concerns. With decades of clinical experience, we draw on this rich tradition—combined with practical expertise—to address diverse conditions safely and effectively. Explore some of the examples below.
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the oldest and most advanced natural medicine systems in the world. The application of herbal formulas has been continually refined in the light of clinical findings from their first use over 2000 years ago to their application today, and they are still as relevant for complex modern diseases as they were in ancient times. They are routinely used alongside Western medicine in many Eastern countries. Herbs help to cleanse, strengthen and balance. Each treatment is formulated individually to address the cause rather than the mere symptoms of disease.
​​
In our one to one consultations we use several diagnostic tools (e.g; your date of birth, pulse, tongue, posture, use of language and others) to provide a window into what mental and emotional patterns are creating stress and what organs and systems of the body need attention. With this knowledge we can prescribe individualised programmes of yoga, meditation, herbal medicine, nutritional and lifestyle advice. This is sometimes supported by on-going healing conversations using Karam Kriya, Acupuncture and Shiatsu.

Chinese or Western Medicine?
​
Chinese Medicine is widely used for a broad range of physical organ/internal issues. Many patients however are not familiar with the options for more serious medical issues. Additionally, it is at times confusing to patients when your practitioner describes your liver as being stagnant or your spleen as deficient only later to find out that they are in no way talking about the physical organs themselves but their respective energetic systems from a Chinese Medicine perspective.
​
In the west this confusion is part of why patients may not always think of Chinese Medicine beyond a certain level of illness. So pain is often considered treatable, sometimes psychological issues, sometimes allergies but rarely chronic physical organ issues, cancers, etc but in many parts of the world Chinese Medicine is used for serious and even extremely acute medical issues. It does not, however, need to be an either/or decision and it is possible to use both in some cases.
​We Are Experienced in Treating These Conditions​​
DEPRESSION
There are many reasons given for the causes of depression. A chemical imbalance in the brain is one but this can’t be the only reason, otherwise anti depressants would be more effective. What is the deeper cause ?
ANXIETY
Anxiety conditions are pervasive in effecting many areas of life? but through a combination of yoga, meditation and talking therapy, there is no limit to which you can bring back your stability, clarity and self confidence.
RELATIONSHIPS
Women have distinctly different ways of thinking and behaving than men and vice versa. These differences are often misunderstood or underplayed maksing it difficult to find mutual understanding, respect and love.
OCD
Knowing we are ultimately not in control of our destiny, but that we are co-creators of it, is more unnerving for some of us than others. OCD is an attempt to define something in time and space that can?t be defined, to give us the illusion of control. Bring balance back.
ADHD
We recognise that ADHD needs a comprehensive approach. We use 5 Keys all designed to unlock you or your child?s potential by minimizing the severity and number of symptoms, developing effective coping strategies and confidently moving forward in life.
Addiction
Many addictions start as an attempt to escape from uncomfortable feelings such as low self esteem because we feel that we are not enough as we are. The yogic message is that you are complete and so healing is a process of remembering who you really are.
Other Conditions We Treat
We successfully support a wide range of conditions, including digestive and gut disorders, reproductive and genito-urinary issues, acute and chronic infections, musculoskeletal pain and injuries, skin conditions, and stress-related concerns. Our approach focuses on identifying and treating the root cause to promote lasting recovery and overall wellbeing.
