Lindsey Glasheen Medical Herbalist

Lindsey graduated from Heartwood and is registered with the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH).

Her first visit to a herbalist was a positive, supportive and empowering experience and she feels privileged to be able to offer the same to other people.

She love that using herbs, cooking with fresh food and spending time outdoors bonds us with nature and believes these are fundamental to promoting good health. She is mother to two children, three stepchildren and is interested in using herbs and nutrition to improve children’s health

She also teaches yoga with her husband where she lives in Benenden, emphasising supportive techniques and breathing exercises which, used together with herbal medicine, helps support the body holistically

 Simply put, herbal medicine is made from plants, either the whole plant or sometimes parts of it, for example leaves, flowers, roots or bark. Herbal medicine has deep roots in history and has developed over many centuries; in many parts of the world it is still used as the main source of medicine. Whilst there are traditional uses, modern practice also involves more scientific research

Medical herbalists study both orthodox and plant medicine and are trained in the same diagnostic skills as a GP. We take a holistic approach to illness by treating the underlying causes, rather than just symptoms, perhaps making suggestions to improve diet and lifestyle in addition to prescribing herbal remedies.
