Medical Herbalist | Consultations & Education | Gloucestershire

‘Welcome. I am Flora, a qualified and registered medical herbalist based in The Cotswolds, Gloucestershire. I am passionate about connecting people to the healing benefits of plants. I help people to restore their physical and emotional health through consultations and prescribe bespoke herbal medicines.

I take time to understand your health in depth and treat the root causes of illness rather than merely focus on symptoms. I take a holistic approach, with herbal medicine tailored specifically to you.

Alongside my clinic, I run seasonal ‘wild medicine’ walks and workshops, helping people connect with nature and build confidence using medicinal plants at home.

MEDICAL HERBALISM

Herbal medicine is a natural system of medicine rooted in a blend of traditional plant knowledge, modern evidence-based science and medical practice. Herbal medicine is one of the oldest forms of medicine in the world and is still the most widely used form of healthcare globally. Plants contain multiple powerful organic compounds that have a vast variety of therapeutic actions on the human body that can be used to aid us in recovery from illness. Herbalists prescribe plant-based medicine in the forms of tincture, herbal teas, and topical creams.

In-depth professional training and specialised knowledge are required to use herbal medicine safely and effectively. Qualified medical herbalists can safely prescribe herbal medicine alongside other medications and treatments, avoiding negative interactions or contraindications. In the UK, medical herbalists are trained in the same diagnostic skills and clinical skills as GPs, as well as studying diet and lifestyle management.

I offer a safe and inclusive service for everyone. I treat a broad spectrum of both acute and chronic conditions. Some of the common health concerns people come to see with include, but are not limited to, the following:

Skin conditions: eczema, psoriasis and acne
Digestive support and gut health
Hormonal balance, menopause support and painful periods
Musculoskeletal pains, arthritis
Hay fever and Seasonal allergies
Cardiovascular health and blood pressure support
Stress, anxiety, fatigue and sleep problems
Respiratory health
Immune support

If you are experiencing different health concerns that are not listed above, please get in touch to discuss how herbal medicine can support you.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

I cannot fault Flora for the care and thoroughness with which she approached my case, exploring all avenues and coming up with a clear plan to tackle the problem. Healing from the inside out takes time, but it works. My skin is much clearer and I feel better overall.’

Flora truly is brilliant in what she does, she has healed my skin which I never thought possible and given me confidence which I spent years covering and hiding before, I look and feel well and this is all down to Flora’s expertise. Seeing a Herbalist is now my first choice in getting well

She took time to listen to me in my appointment, which was a great comfort. I now have a tincture to help with my anxiety, and although it is early days, I am beginning to feel more relaxed and in control. I continue to see Flora for appointments and I feel very supported.

I came to see Flora over a year ago with blood pressure issues during what was a very stressful time in my life. I am grateful for the care I received from Flora, and the herbs continue to help me. I am making great steps forward with my health.

After hearing Flora talk about herbs for hay fever on the radio, I made an appointment. Though it has only been two months, I am over the moon with the results. My symptoms are far less severe than in previous springs. I may never be entirely hay fever free, but I am thrilled to have found a natural way to manage my allergies.
