Are you floating and serene like Lavender or calming like Lemon Balm?
My Mum had taught me the uses for Rongoa grown right at her home's doorstep and these were incorporated naturally into our every day lives. Koromiko for diarrohea, Kawakawa for blood cleanser, digestion, skin wounds and insect repellant, Kumarahou for coughs and colds and respiratory complaints, Kopakopa for inflammation, Karamu for urinary complaints. I like to call them the "5 K's".
It wasn’t until I completed my formal training that my true understanding of the relationship with herbal medicine began. I started to look at my clients, really look at them holistically and match the herbs that suited their personalities and constitutions.
Herbal medicine is safe and effective when prescribed by a fully qualified Medical Herbalist. Self-prescribing is not recommended and if you are taking any other medication or natural health supplements, it is important to let me know.

What's in your garden?
I always ask my clients “What’s in your garden? Simple medicinal herbs are available at reputable Health Food Stores or other organic Gardens which can be planted and used to treat basic ailments.
I grow and harvest medicinal herbs in my garden that suit my family’s constitution and enjoy the simplicity of instant access ready for that healing remedy tea or skin balm.
Did you know you can make a herbal cuppa tea of Thymus vulgaris (Thyme) to thin the mucus, help to expel it, is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-fungal and an anti-oxidant? ”
A sudden cough, a sore throat, a shallow skin wound, calming down the nerves, hormone balancing, stagnant lymphatic system
- all herbs for these ailments are easily grown in your back yard.
Harvest and dry these same herbs for a steady supply when fresh is not available.
The wonderment that my client’s experience when they realise they have the power to heal themselves, right there at their fingertips, is amazing to watch.
Spray free of course!
Some benefits of liquid herbs
•

•
Liquid extracts work faster than other forms of supplementation by being absorbed directly into the blood stream. Assimilation by the body ensures the herb’s optimal therapeutic benefit. If there is a gut imbalance, liquid herbs will absorb quickly for faster action.
The taste and aroma of a herb often increases its therapeutic benefit. For example, the taste of certain bitter herbs increases the body’s digestive juices, and this helps improve appetite and digestion.
Liquid Herbal Extracts can be used for Drop dosing which is more effective for clients who are sensitive including children and the elderly. Drop dosing is also more cost effective allowing the remedy to last longer.
If you are unable to swallow capsules and tablets, liquid Herbal extracts will ensure easier ingestion and absorption.
