Western medicine is approaching difficult times nowadays with the development of drug resistant infections, the failure of antibiotics generally and the indications arising that some conditions are beginning to cross species lines.
Traditionally, medical demands have been met by experienced individuals in societies who have gathered experience to help members deal with births, deaths, wounds, accidents, illnesses or minor surgical needs. Often this person was female, and often she would have one or more apprentices gathering experience for their own future role as healers.
With the development of formal education, and of chemistry, early last century the males and the academics saw the opportunity of capitalizing on medicine by treating it as a chemical science.
As herbalists we know that there are a multitude of factors which are involved in illnesses above and beyond the straight chemistry of a condition. My published list of treatments largely ignores the emotional, intellectual, medical history, family experience or genetic history which must be taken into account, when prescribing to an individual patient, for any medical condition.
Over the years however, and after treating thousands of cases, I have identified the basic herbal combinations to be considered for each of the four hundred odd conditions named.
These may be added to, or modified, during a consultation when the factors in the first paragraph above are brought to mind and according to your own professional experience.

At our own property we offer agistment to local owners who wish to keep their horses close by, as we also have full dressage, jumping, and cross country facilities on our 300 acre block.
Those locals who work their horses on our property and manage their own feeding pay $55 per week for a private 2 acre paddock. If they are away at any time and want us to manage the feeding, we charge them $110 per week to rug and feed their horses.
As in every Healers practice there appear from time to time, cases where my experience tells me I have been prescribing the correct herbal treatments and giving the correct advice and nothing happens. Nothing at all.
I treat these cases as energy blockages where a treatment, which is correct or at least nearly correct is not progressing. This occurs with both people and animal patients two or three times per month and this is when I recommend using Hair Analysis to clear the blockage.
