Herbal Medicine
"I decided to try a herbalist as I was not sleeping well. I had been prescribed sleeping tablets but knew that I would have to find a healthier solution. After my appointment with Jacinta I was given a list of dietary and exercise recommendations and a small bottle of herbs which I took in water each evening before bed. After a few days of doing a daily power walk, cutting out all caffeine, eating less sugar and taking the herbs, I was finally sleeping all night! I can't believe the difference in my health. I'm a new person. I would definitely recommend Jacinta. She was very knowledgeable and caring." Felicity "I was an emotional wreck with PMS issues, mood swings and irritability. I'd tried taking various tablets from the health food store, but they didn't seem to help. My doctor had told me that all I could do was go on the pill. I asked around and was given Jacinta's details. She gave me a herbal drink to take daily, suggested I change my diet a little and take some probiotic capsules. After about 3 months I was feeling better. I was very impressed with Jacinta and would not hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family." Rachael |

Herbal medicine is medicine made exclusively from plants. It is the oldest and the most widely used system of medicine, being used by over 75% of the world's population. It works to enhance the body's natural healing abilities. Many conditions respond well to herbal medicines. Body systems such as the digestive, immune, lymphatic, reproductive, nervous and circulatory systems may all benefit from herbal medicines as they optimise the body's natural functions to restore balance. Herbal medicine originally formed the basis for modern pharmaceutical medications. Often the active constituent of a plant has been isolated and synthesized to provide the basis for a standardised drug. Notable examples being aspirin, digoxin, ephedrine, morphine and codeine. Herbalists prefer to use the whole of the plant as there are other constituents which interact and result in a more beneficial effect. Herbs act to nourish and support the body’s organs, restore and strengthen damaged tissue as well as detoxify and eliminate waste. Herbal medicine is increasingly being validated by scientific investigation which seeks to understand the active chemistry of the plant.
