About me
Welcome to Billericay Herbal Medicine - taking online and in-person consultations!
I am Heidi, a fully qualified medical herbalist practising in Billericay and Chelmsford, Essex. However, as I also take patients on Zoom, I can see people who are less local or find an online appointment more convenient.
Medical herbalists approach illness in a holistic way - we look for the underlying cause of the ailment rather than just getting rid of the symptoms. No two patients are the same and I spend considerable time getting to know the person so I can prescribe a bespoke mixture of herbs.
Please have a look at my website and contact me if you have any queries - I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your health!

Further information
Herbs can be effective in many conditions normally treated by your GP or over the counter at your local pharmacy. They can be especially helpful in chronic (long-term) conditions. I certainly don’t believe they are an alternative to drugs in severe or life-threatening conditions but I am more than happy to work alongside your consultant/GP to see if we can help your general health or ease side effects.
For example:
Digestion: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heartburn/reflux, constipation, stomach ulcers, Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis;
Skin: eczema, psoriasis, acne;
Allergies/respiratory: lung issues, hayfever, asthma, bronchitis, coughs/colds, sinusitis;
Energy/fatigue/wellness: long Covid, recovery from illness, insomnia, ME, post viral fatigue, “always getting ill”, staying in tip top condition for sport, work, studying or life in general!
Emotional/nervous system: Stress, migraine, headaches, depression, anxiety, Parkinsons, memory issues, "brain fog";
Hormones: type 2 diabetes, thyroid issues, BPH (enlarged prostate), PMT, painful/heavy/irregular periods, menopause, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), urinary tract infections, fertility, enodmetriosis;
Joints/bones/muscles: Arthritis (rheumatoid and osteo-), sports injuries, tendon/ligament issues, Lupus (SLE), ankylosing spondylitis, gout, fibromyalgia;

...and many more!
