Sue Russell

Medical Herbalist

The history of Herbal Medicine is one of traditional, safe and effective use, essentially having existed in some form for as long as mankind himself. Today we are becoming more and more enmeshed within a highly synthetic world, which is bringing about a very fragmented and disturbed state of being, predisposing us to poor health. I strongly feel that medicinal herbs can help us to re-establish our proper connection to nature.

Basic to this form of medicine is the understanding that health is derived from a balance of natural forces within the body, with illness occurring when this balance is disturbed. There is also the belief that the body has an inherent ability to regulate and heal itself, and it is this natural force that herbal medicines have the ability to support and enhance.

Unlike many allopathic treatments, the holistically trained Medical Herbalist does not simply match a drug to an ailment in order to soothe symptoms, but endeavours to thoroughly understand each person in order to uncover the root cause of their ill health. From this understanding an individual medicine is formulated to remove the basis of the illness and support the return to health.

A full Case History is taken at the beginning of treatment. A true commitment to becoming well is required from the patient, as attention to diet, environment and exercise may be crucial to proper healing.
