Combining Herbal medicine with current prescriptions
Since many modern medications originate from plant extracts, herbal remedies effectively (yet gently) treat a host of illnesses. Free from synthetic chemicals, herbal medicine is a safe way to restore your body back to health.
You can also safely use herbal remedies alongside prescription drugs. However, there are specific medications which could interact with a herbal prescription.
In this instance, Patricia advises you to seek guidance if unsure. It is always better to speak to a professional herbalist who will prepare a herbal remedy that’s safe for you to take, than buy over-the-counter remedies and be unaware of their effect.

Initially, a private consultation is the best way to establish your individual needs. To prescribe the right course of treatment, we always start by asking about your lifestyle, symptoms and medical history.

- Take your blood pressure when required
- Advise/arrange further diagnostic tests if necessary

As Patricia has many years’ herbal medicine experience, she offers specialist insight into how your herbal remedy prescription can aid your recovery. With emphasis on colonic cleansing and liver care, she can further support anyone who is juggling multiple medications for an ongoing condition.
A herbal medicine prescription might consist of a liquid tincture or distilled aromatic water, taken in small doses two or three times daily. You may also be prescribed skin creams or lotions, where appropriate.
