Herbal Medicine & Complementary Therapies

Natural remedies to create balance in your life.

Herbal Medicine

Health is more than just the absence of disease and Chinese herbal medicine recognises this. It’s one of the great herbal systems of the world, dating back to 300 BC.

Herbal medicine has a powerful ability to maintain and enhance your well-being and happiness. Primarily aiming to correct internal imbalances, rather than simply treating individual symptoms, it's designed to encourage this self-healing process.

Distinct from Western medicine based on pharmaceutical drugs, herbal medicine is more balanced and less likely to cause side effects because of the complexity of plant materials. In China, it is still offered in state hospitals alongside western medicine.

I can support you with personalised herbal formulas to help you with insomnia, digestive complaints, fatigue, headaches, menstruation, PMS symptoms, IBS, anxiety and muscle tension, and most recently Covid-19 symptoms or post -Covid recovery. For ultimate transformative health, herbal medicine is most effective when combined with acupuncture treatments.

 

Notes of Appreciation

  • I not only feel healthier physically but emotionally too.

    “I initially went to Elena for facial acupuncture and over the years she’s become my first point of contact for all my health concerns. Elena has treated me for various ailments including neck/shoulder pains, swollen ankles and digestive issues. Elena is very professional and knowledgeable with expertise in Japanese acupuncture, herbs, cupping and homeopathy (to name a few). Elena always makes me feel comfortable and takes the time to fully understand my concerns before prescribing any treatment. I highly recommend Elena, she’s the best in her field.”

  • I am totally converted!

    “I was introduced to Elena some 9 years ago and I was extremely sceptical at first and really doubted that acupuncture could make a difference to my back problem. I have tried every possible treatment available over the years and found it to be fairly ineffective but in a desperate state, I knew I had to try something different. After a few sessions of acupuncture, I was extremely surprised with the outcome and can safely say that I haven't felt so good in a very long time!”

  • Elena knows how the body works in great depth.

    Initially, many years ago, I came to Elena to address some exhaustion I had due to long working hours and sleep disorder. After around 6 sessions I started to sleep better, I had more energy, I could accomplish more. Her many trainings and years of practical experience enable her to identify the root cause for misalignment and work on it. I have since come to recommend Elena’s healing practices to my family and friends for many issues that weren’t easily addressed by conventional medicine.

Flower Essences

Find the balance for your everyday well-being.

“Disease of the body itself is nothing but the result of the disharmony between soul and mind. Remove the disharmony, and we regain harmony between soul and mind, and the body is once more perfect in all its parts.”

– Dr. Edward Bach

Unleash the true power of flowers! I’ll tailor a combination of essences for you to help you feel more balanced. Flower remedies are all about treating the cause not the effect, which aligns beautifully with my other practices!

 

Tissue Salts

Want to rejuvenate your skin and overall health?

Not only are Tissue Salts incredible for your skin, but they can also counterbalance many mineral deficiencies and help with many health conditions. Stomach problems, indigestion, and gas are signs of poor mineral absorption, and even dry hair and split ends are sending you a message about your health.

Issues such as food allergies, metabolic issues, gynaecological problems, and thyroid imbalance can all be addressed with Tissue Salts. Once our mineral needs are met, we can be healthy, strong, energetic, mentally clear, and at peace with others and, most importantly, ourselves.

 

 Complementary Therapies

I also offer other ancient techniques that work alongside acupuncture or herbal medicine, such as GuaSha, Magnets, Ion Pumping Cords, Cupping or Moxibustion therapy.
