Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine uses plants that have medicinal value recorded over thousands of years. Medical herbalists combine this traditional knowledge of plants with more recent scientific research to inform how to treat each person individually. Herbal medicine is an art as well as a science; when the correct herbal prescription is identified an individual's health can be transformed.
Herbal Medicine is suitable for everyone, from newborn babies to the elderly.
Commonly seen conditions in herbal practice:
• Women's health: period pains, irregular menstruation, PMS, fibroids, fertility, menopausal symptoms.
• Skin conditions: eczema, psoriasis, acne, fungal infections.
• Digestive conditions: IBS, constipation, diarrhoea, indigestion, peptic ulcers, colitis, high cholesterol.
• Respiratory conditions: colds, asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, hay fever.
• Musculoskeletal disorders: arthritis, bursitis, gout, tendinitis.
• Emotional Health: Anxiety, stress, insomnia and depression.
• Supportive treatment for chronic illnesses.
Consultations
Initial consultations will take an hour. During this time Becs will take an extensive medical history and provide you with a herbal prescription. This may take the form of a tea, decoction, tincture, syrup or an external preparation. Dietary and lifestyle advice may also be given.
She is also qualified in massage therapy and reflexology and, by combining touch therapy with herbal treatments in the followup consultations, she can offer (if appropriate) a unique, holistic and effective approach to your health.
Becs Griffiths is a qualified Medical Herbalist with a BSc Hons (First Class) degree in Herbal Medicine and a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists.
