Our team of herbalists, Robyn James, Carol Burnett, Joy Holmes and Daniel Crawford offer consultations in person at the Herbarium in Sheffield and also online via Zoom or WhatsApp.
Our professional herbalists will give you time and space to tell your story. We then work together to make sense of how you have got here and how to get better. We will use both our technical knowledge and our intuition to create an individualised herbal treatment plan for you.
Herbal medicine can address a wide range of physical and emotional problems. For example, whilst more research is needed, there is growing evidence to support the use of herbal medicine as an effective treatment in the following conditions and more besides:
How does herbal medicine work?
Herbal medicine is both an art and a science.
A science: Plants rely on chemistry to protect themselves from threats and communicate with their allies. For example, if a plant is damaged, it will produce antiseptic chemicals to ward off infection.. These are often antiseptic for us as well.
An art: But herbs also have more subtle and complex characters. Our herbalists use these ‘energetic’ qualities to match the right herb to the patient.
What to expect
In the first consultation, the herbalist will fully discuss your health problems with you. This usually takes over an hour. Together we will try to understand the underlying patterns that have caused your ill health. The herbalist will then usually prescribe and make up an individualised prescription of herbal medicines for you to take away.
Subsequent consultations are shorter, usually around 45 minutes, including dispensing. The herbalist will discuss progress, suggest the next steps, and adjust the herbal prescription as needed.
Our herbalists are all trained to degree level in herbal medicine. Between us we have a wealth of practical clinical experience, from simple first aid to long term chronic conditions.
We also offer a low cost clinic on two or three days per month. On these days, consultations are taken by trainee herbalists under the supervision of one of our experienced professional practitioners. Consultations in this clinic are subsidised.
