Jeremy M. Griffiths BA, DBTh, MIRCH I have been fascinated by the natural world since early childhood. By the 1980s I began applying herbs to resolve my own ailments. This set me on a journey of discovery that lead me to realise that the dis~ease, rather than the disease (which in itself is only a symptom of the deeper problem) is the starting point of all treatment. Treating the person, through an exploration of dietary, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual concerns, and removing any obsticles, is the best route back to health. I have come to realise that well being is more than just an abscence of symptoms, and sufficient time must be given to really understand the individual needs. On this basis, treatments are unique to the individual as the route that brought them to my door is also unique. With this understanding I have faced a wide range of symptoms, working with the individual to fascilitate improvement and/or resolution of the condition. To be equiped with the skills, intuition and understanding that brings about dramatic change in the quality of someone's life is a massive privilage and greatly fullfilling. Health and Happiness The Green Man (Jeremy) Jeremy

Jeremy M. Griffiths BA, DBTh, MIRCH After years of study with the British based IRCH (International Register of Consultant Herbalists and Homoeopaths) I graduated as a medical herbalist. I have been practising professionally since 2003 and have also given presentations and conducted herb walks for herbalist students, my professional peers and the public alike, as well as tutoring final year herbalist students. I am a regular contributor of articles to The Journal of Natural Medicine. I take a holistic approach to the development and application of herbal remedies…..Seeing herbs as more than their biochemical constituents, but as embodying their own nature and temperament

Herbal Medicine and Bach Flower Remedies (also some other flower remedies).

The Green Man Herbal Apothecary is based on the old Apothecary shop, where the individual may consult with me and gain access to remedies for both acute and chronic conditions. Consultations The strength of my approach lies in taking the time to fully listen to your case. Chronic conditions are treated through consultation and a holistic approach that takes into consideration the factors that make up the human condition such as diet, lifestyle and emotional blocks. I acknowledge dis-ease as an individual expression that is best treated by balancing those aspects and resolving the underlying cause, rather than merely suppressing symptoms. Remedies for acute conditions may also be accessed through me after a brief consultation. These are available during my Drop In hours. . A large part of the treatment is achieved through the application from a range of about 120, mostly western, herbs, taking into consideration not only their biochemical constituents, but also their nature, temperament and character in respect of the individual patient. Herbs are administered in the form of tinctures, capsules, creams, ointments, syrups and dried herbal mixtures for infusions or decoctions. Bach Flower Remedies are also employed where unresolved emotional states impede recovery. An initial consultation takes up to around 2 hours. Subsequent consultations are about an hour. The depth and severity of the condition will determine the length of treatment, as will age, compliance and the individual constitution. Drop In Days During my Drop In hours I am available for advice and to consult and access remedies for acute conditions. These products include creams, ointments, balms, capsules, syrups, individual and blended herb teas and baths. I am also availabe to make a consultation appointment for more chronic conditions. There is also a large selection of loose herbs availabe to purchase..... These days, many people are turning to Bach Flower Remedies to restore emotional balance. However, where there is a need to combine multiple remedies the cost to purchase the individual mother tinctures can seem daunting given that you may never need these remedies again within their given shelf-life. For this reason I am happy to mix Bach Flower Remedies to your individual need, thus saving you excessive expense and waste.
