This
is my
first
newsletter
to my
patients
to keep
in touch
and let
you know
what I’m
up to!
Harvesting
and tincture
making.
The
weather
and the
seasons
have been
perfect
this year
for my
herb gathering.
I’ve
harvested
Nettle,
Ribwort,
Cleavers,
Elderflower,
Red Clover,
Limeflowers
and Agrimony
from the
golf course.
(Grace
my black
lab has
got used
to waiting
for me!!)
I have
Borage,
Calendula,
Rose and
Motherwort
growing
in the
garden
–
all my
favourite
‘emotional
support’
herbs.
All
this abundance
has lent
itself
to me
perfecting
my tincture-making,
so the
dispensary
and kitchen
are currently
full of
buckets
and bottles! My
clinics
are currently
in Forest
Row, Haywards
Heath
and at
home.
The Riverside
Practice
at Forest
Row is
a fairly
new venture.
I have
been running
talks
there
on the
healing
power
of herbs.
I am also
running
workshops
at Stoneywish
Nature
Reserve,
Ditchling
on Friday
mornings.
We have
been having
great
fun making
tinctures,
creams
and glycerites
alongside
me teaching
them how
to identify
and use
a range
of herbs
for first
aid. –
I also
intend
to re-start
my evening
talks
here in
the Autumn.
I
am also
running
a student
clinic
for the
College
of Naturopathic
Medicine
from my
home on
Saturdays
in August
and September.
As this
is a teaching
clinic
I am offering
half price
consultations
(£20
new, £15
repeats
if you
know anyone
who would
benefit…and
only two
students
with me
at a time
I assure
you).
I’ve
realised
I couldn’t
quite
give up
the teaching
side after
all!! Flower
Essences
My
spiritual
development
has also
moved
at a pace.
I run
a meditation
group
here once
a month
and now
make flower
essences
to treat
the emotional
and spiritual
body.
These
work really
well alongside
the herbs
or on
their
own.
I
now have
a range
of Flower
Essences
that seem
to be
specifically
for sensitive
children.
They offer
strength
and protection,
safe sleep,
to name
a few..and
of course,
adults
looking
at their
inner
child
issues
benefit
from them
as well. Enough
for now.
May I
take this
opportunity
to wish
you continued
good health
and happiness. With
best wishes |
