Florence Deadman practices traditional western herbal medicine, using mainly orgainc herbs and is located at Faversham in the county of Kent (south-east England).
Florence trained initially as an holistic nutritionist with the College of Nutritional Medicine and then with the International Register of Consultant Herbalists (IRCH) for five years. This included a complete comprehensive study of anatomy and physiology, Naturopathy, and the herbal Materia Medica. Pharmacology was also undertaken followed by practical clinical training under the supervision of an appointed senior consultant tutor. She then went on to graduate with the Stonebridge Associated Colleges with a Diploma in Clinical Herbalism. She is now a member of the British Institute for Allergy & Environmental Therapy.
Herbal medicines are made from extracts of the leaves, flowers, roots and other parts of plants and come in the form of tinctures, capsules, ointments, essential oils, and infusions (teas).
The aim of the Herbalist is to help the patient's body restore its self-healing mechanism, so herbal remedies are tailored to the individual, not the symptoms. Professional Herbalists can help most ailments treated by a GP but with more quality time to discuss and investigate the cause of the patient's health problems.
Allergy testing the patient is safe, quick and effective and carried out by Kinesiology (muscle testing). The results are instant and repeatable. After a detailed medical discussion and the allergy test, the patient is then prescribed a combination of herbal and desensitising remedies with dietary advice to build up a strong immune system. The patient is then (usually) seen on a monthly basis to check on their progress and prescribed new remedies if needed.
