All Herbs are one single dose.
Only one dose to be taken in one day.
Addiction – Drug, Alcohol, Nicotine
A problem of desire – Solar plexus, and willpower – Brow centre.
Cleavers day 1 and 4
Vervain
Then
Mugwort , If poor vitality.
This is enough to see improvement within ten days. This will continue, giving the opportunity to treat underlying issues.
Anxiety
The root of this (other than difficult circumstances) can be Brow, Heart, or Solar plexus centres. Two, or even all three may be involved.
Valerian/Yew mix day 1 and 3 All cases.
Solar plexus – Constant worry or obsessive thoughts :
Cleavers
Brow – Tight neck and shoulders, nightmares :
Vervain
Arterial Circulation in the Legs
Includes ulcers, chilblains, some leg pains, some calf spasms.

Arthritis – Osteo
Sage, day 1 and 4
Bittersweet,
Comfrey
Asthma
By this we mean wheezing or difficulty breathing in. We are not including difficulties due to phlegm. In nearly all cases, the sacral centre is depleted, resulting in deficiency of adrenal function – (hence the use of steroids).
Sage, day 1 and 3 Yew day 2 and 5
Marsh Mallow Devil’s Bit Scabious
Occasionally, the brow centre causes constriction. There will be tightness elsewhere in the body~
Vervain
When there is phlegm, the solar plexus must be treated.
This is Bronchitis, often miscalled asthma. See COPD below.
- When there has been prolonged use of steroid inhalers.
Treatment will take several months, as the adrenal glands slowly regain function. With older, or weak patients, we may have to settle for only a partial reduction in steroids. But for most patients, non reliance is our goal.
Once the patient feels noticeable benefit, we can omit one inhalation, every few days. This can be reduced gradually to every other day, until it can be omitted. There is no hurry !
Repeat this procedure for other inhaler doses.
Atherosclerosis. High Cholesterol.
Unfortunately, this disease often remains undetected, until it causes stroke or cardiac arrest. It is years in the making, and may be detected earlier from cholesterol levels in the blood, or other more recent methods.
By returning Cholesterol levels to normal we can prevent any further plaque formation.
Cleavers day 1 and 4
Valerian day 2
Hedge Mustard day 3
To reduce Plaque in the arteries.
Hedge Mustard 10 days after above treatment.
This will be very effective in early detections, ranging to modest in critical cases.
Cutting out Smoking, and Saturated Fat in diet is Essential !
Bowel Dysfunction
This includes Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS, and any other condition except Cancer.
Yew day 1 and 4

Sage day 1 and4
Devil’s Bit Scabious
Marsh Mallow Woundwort
There is no more treatment, but improvement can continue for several months. As ever, expectations depend on age, severity etc. In most cases there is marked improvement.
Despair
Includes grief and loneliness. It is the result of circumstances, as opposed to depression, which is an internal cause. However, depression may well ensue. (Request document)
Yew
Agrimony
Epilepsy
Vervain 2 doses, I week apart
Gum Diseases
Yew
Woundwort
Heart conditions
These can be complex, and should be left to specialists. However,
Valerian/Yew mix
would be very helpful. Repeat a single dose of the mix every month, if appropriate.
Hiatus Hernia
Yew day 1 and 3 Cleavers day 2
Infections
These pathogens are treated at the level of their organisation – Mind. These herbs quickly neutralise all viral or bacterial function.
For all Bacterial infection
Burdock
For Viral infection:
Wild Garlic
If in doubt, give W Garlic, followed by Burdock after a break of at least 2 hours. (Not the other way round).
A very effective treatment for Colds and Flu is
W.Garlic
Mugwort 2 hours (minimum) later.
Low Back Disorders
Other than Trauma, all Chronic Low Back problems stem from the Sacral centre.
In many cases, this is all. However, a sizable minority actually originate in the Heart centre, which then disrupts the sacral.
Sage day 1 and 4
Comfrey
Lady’s Mantle Women
If you suspect the Heart is involved – indicated by insomnia or anxiety. This can sometimes have a profound effect, releasing emotional tension, which has locked the vertebral muscles. Add
Valerian/Yew mix 2 days running.
Arthritis. This condition may cause all of the above, or be an accessory to the fact. It may only be apparent by X-ray.
Add Bittersweet
This regime can have profound effect on lives which have been blighted by pain. But the mechanics of the spine can be complicated, and beyond the scope of herbs to unravel.
Unless a good recovery is quickly evident, a working relationship with an osteopath/chiropractor is essential. Since the sacral centre is corrected, their work will then be far more effective.
Mental Health
Plant spirit medicine can have profound and speedy effect on many these conditions. The subject is too lengthy to include here. You can request a document, outlining our full treatment of these conditions.

Holly
Obesity
Cleavers, day 1 and 4
Sage
Mugwort
There is no need for any more action for a further 2 weeks. This condition is usually accompanied by a complex of low Confidence, Self Esteem Defeat etc. It is counter productive to make demands on someone whilst in this state. They have heard it all before. (But if they are keen to diet etc now, all well and good.)
After this time, there will nearly always be an improvement in mental outlook. We are treating the cause, which is Confidence. From this base, we can treat the Addiction element, present in most cases. This is eating to gratify, and also being hooked on the deliberately engineered comfort foods – loaded with fat, salt, and sugar Aghh!
We also add Valerian to support the Heart, which will have been under strain for some time.
Agrimony
Vervain
Valerian
By now, we can expect a steady weight loss and a gradual dissatisfaction with junk foods. We can also expect a happier person, more in control of their life, with better energy.
The rate of improvement may be slow or rapid, depending on the personality and circumstances. Some are zealous, some are not, but it doesn’t matter.
We should beware of trying to impose our schedule upon them.
We need to discuss or enable an Exercise routine and Dietary changes. There is so much info around as to not go into it here. But we must avoid extremism ourselves. Diet and exercise can be obsessive by nature, including in those who preach it!
Finally, there are always a few who do not respond to a given regime. We must be aware that various serious conditions result in obesity, such as Endocrine disorders, and that other syndromes may well be concurrent.
Obsessive Behaviour
Cleavers
Vervain day 1 and 4
Paget’s disease
This can be arrested in most cases, and improved in many. We can be hopeful of a good recovery in younger patients.
Sage, day 1 and 4
Lady’s Mantle
Comfrey
Pain
Pain can be greatly reduced by this herb. It prevents the nerve signal registering in the brain, beyond a near normal level. This can make an enormous difference to a life beleaguered by pain.
Pain tells us where there is a problem, which may be serious. In this case, the sensation will always continue, to some extent. It must be addressed by a comprehensive treatment. Yew (inflammation) and Comfrey (structure) are particularly useful.

Forget me not day 2
This is effective in varying degrees, up to age of approx 70 .
Warts
Burdock.
Tape 1 dose of herb over the wart for one hour. Repeat 3 days later.
For areas of many warts, you need only treat a few bigger ones.
Wounds
This is the territory of serious accidents and warfare. Historically, herbal medicine was the only option, and has a lot to offer. Sooner or later we may have the opportunity to treat these, where conventional treatment is struggling. A few spectacular recoveries will open doors !
Use either Woundwort or Selfheal. They are the herbs of choice. There are many others of varying power, but these two are in their own class. We can use them as a wash, salve, or dressing. The effect of these herbs is to regenerate flesh and skin quickly, and of the right tissue. This means little or no scar tissue.
1 dose by mouth,
Then for serious wounds:
As a Salve
Prepare as for skin (below). Smear on the outside of the first layer of dressing.
Burns
As a Wash only, day 1 and 2. Smear a few drops of Lavender essential oil on the dressing.
Ligament, Cartilage and Bone damage
Comfrey by mouth
Comfrey salve.
When a break has set badly, or a joint is deformed, growth must be corrected, according to the ‘blueprint’ of the original. Comfrey, applied as a salve can have a remarkable effect. Once every 3 days..
Skin diseases
A browse through old herbals will show how common all manner of eruptions and swellings etc were in past times. We are now better fed and cleaner, and treatments have been lost, but skin conditions of any kind cause a lot of emotional stress.
