Looking for the right herb to kick that nasty cold, calm anxiety or help ease your menstrual cramps? We offer a mini-consultation to ensure you’re getting the right herbal remedy to best support you. 

If you need more than one health concern addressed please schedule a full Herbal Consultation. Sometimes a little more research is required to find the best herbs suited for you, you may need something customized into a percolated tincture, herbal infusion, tonic, elixir, electuary or oxymel.

If 15 minutes isn’t enough time, we offer full herbal consultations.

Many don’t realize that while a herb may look good on paper, if your constitution does not match the energetics of the herb, you might find that the benefit quickly turns to detriment. Drying herbs for someone with a dry constitution can be a nightmare. Have a damp constitution and added herbs that are moistening? That might not be the remedy you think it is going to be.

As with supplements and medications, herbs can also have contraindications. Before introducing herbal remedies in tea format (infusion), tincture, decoction or other format – you will want to know if there are any safety issues, this is where the science also gets thrown into the mix.

Is it safe while pregnant, breastfeeding or for children? What medications will the herb(s) interact with and what will that mean?

Can it be used long term? Is the safety dose dependant (if I take more than the recommended dose is it considered toxic or harmful)?

Can it be combined with other herbs or medications safely? Some herbs are hepatoprotective but make certain medications less potent by standard dosing. This is where working with a clinical herbalist who understands that component is important. Holly has completed a herbal fellowship (in medicine) to accompany the rest of her training. Leaving no stone unturned as she likes to say.

What specific herbs will help support what it is that you are trying to treat. Remember that herbal remedies are meant to be a supportive approach, not a cure – however sometimes they can be what was needed to reconnect was has been disconnected. Over time some herbs can help support the systems that may be lacking, however not all herbs are safe for long term use. Since most herbs take time to truly shine through it is important to understand herbalism is not a quick fix. You must practice patience.
