HEARTLINE HERBALS

People have used herbal plants for over 2000 years to treat illness & restore good health, dating back to the De Materia Medica of Dioscorides written in the first century AD, where plants were used for their healing virtues.

​

Now modern herbal medicine combines traditional wisdom with the best of modern medicine & pharmacological understanding.

I have always loved plants & began to include some botanicals alongside the vitamin & mineral supplements that I prescribed in my practice working as a Nutritionist & Allergy Therapist. These results were so positive & rewarding that my curiosity grew, moving me towards gaining a deeper understanding & undertaking a degree to become a Medical Herbalist.

​

Medicinal plants commonly have several constituents working together catalytically to produce a combined effect that surpasses their individual activity. Therefore I have compiled 12 blends as herbal infusions, this is the simplest way to make a herbal remedy. Created from the dried leaves, flowers, seeds, spices & sometimes roots of the plants. These have been sourced ethically & 95% have been grown organically.

​

These blends can be enjoyed hot or cold for their flavours, refreshments & health benefits, or chosen more specifically to target their therapeutic effects.
