What is Herbalism?

Herbalism is the use of various plants and herbs for their balancing, cleansing and healing properties.

 

How are herbs used?   

Most people think of herbalism treatments as being primarily about taking herbal pills, capsules or teas. However the range of treatments is far larger than that. Herbs can be used in cooking, poultices, creams, ointments, lotions, oils, baths and much much more.

How does it work?

Herbalism works on a number of levels. However in holistic herbalism the herbs can be used for stand alone purposes, for example pain relief. However as well as symptomatic relief, herbs are used to treat the whole person. 

Holistic Treatment

Most conventional medicine is based around giving a "pill" or other treatment for each symptom. Herbs can be used this way too. Indeed most conventional products (like aspirin) are derived from herbs and plants. However in herbalism we are more concerned with getting to the "root" of the problem by treating the person as a whole. Therefore the whole system of the body is addressed, in the hope of taking away the cause of dis- ease in the person and strengthening the person's ability to heal themselves.

Can you combine herbal and conventional treatment?

You should always seek medical advice for any suspected illness or injury. Many people then combine herbal products and treatments with conventional medical support. It is important to tell both the medical doctor and the herbalist what medications and herbs you are using.         

Detoxification  

The body builds up a range of toxins, mental and physical. Detoxification is an essential part of recovery and well-being.

Treatments & precautionary measures  

A full range of physical, dietary, herbal, exercise, lifestyle and other measures are combined to treat the holistic nature of the complaint.

Diet, foods, exercise and their effects

It is not enough to take herbs! What we eat  and what we do, makes a huge impact on our well being. Without careful attention to diet and exercise, other aspects of treatment are easily undone.  A  well qualified practitioner will have a grounding in related subjects and will thus be able to advise accordingly.

Natural therapies  

The principle of herbalism means that a range of other therapies including meditation, relaxation, Reiki healing, crystal healing and counselling all work well as part of, or alongside it.

Denise is a well qualified therapist with an ASET Level 4 award in Professional Therapeutic Counselling, an ASET Level 4 Award in Clinical Nutrition, and a range of other diploma qualifications in related issues. 

Both practitioners adhere to NOS National Occupational Standards and are professionally registered and insured. Both are Fellows of the Society for Holistic Therapists and Coaches.
