Herbal medicine is one of the most ancient systems of healing in existence. One which is fundamental and found within all cultures of the world. A diverse, rich history of the use of herbs is embedded in the lives of people, globally. Herbs are not only used as medicine, but as food, and in divination and stories serve to preserve and respect them.
This is the same in Ireland, where I am based and have worked as a medical herbalist for over 30 years. Growing my herbs in a medicinal garden has served to strengthen my connection and understanding of the medicines I use in my clinical practice.
A visit to the herbalist consists of an initial consultation lasting approx. 1 hour. In this time the presenting complaint is assessed,and a look at past and familial medical history as well as serious and recurrent illnesses.
A history of medication use is noted and dietary and life style changes suggested.
A prescription of herbs is dispensed and subsequent appointments made to monitor changes and suitably modify the prescription.
An assessment of the condition is made looking at the person as a unique individual assessing their health status as well as their physical and mento -emotional relationship.
I use a combination of TCM and western diagnosis,and often suggest a different nutritional approach where necessary as well as life style modifications and prescribe native and chinese herbs.
