NEW DVD

Click Here for information and video clips from the DVD.

I completed Dipaunka's beginners course last year. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect and got so much more than I ever could have anticipated. The course is fun, informative and comes with plenty of written information. It contains a deeper, more spiritual approach but also a very practical element in which you will get to see how to make some herbal preparations. I was able to use the information immediately and have continued to expand on my knowledge since then. Dipaunka has a lovely style of teaching and is a joy to be around. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course to anyone (and everyone!).

Since taking the intro to herbs course:
-I have changed to 80% organic fruit / veg
-cut out all preservatives / unnatural additives
- thrown away any remnants of unnatural beauty / care products
- Harmonised my menstrual cycle through herbs
- Know an effective herbal remedy for the (slight) period pain i still experience
- Feel empowered to deal with any health issues that arise
- Believe health issues are unlikely as i have neuked any nasty parasites and feel soooo much better.
- Also am stepping away from relationships that no longer serve my higher self...

Thankyou so much for the course,  as you can see it has been transformational for me.

Love Lizzy.

Herbal Medicine is as old as man himself. Plants have been used from prehistoric times down through the ages for food, healing, givers of knowledge and shelter.

Instinct and generations of trial and error have led us to where we are and what we know today about herbs . To me, Herbs are a source of healing and enhancement on many levels, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. They contain many vitamins , minerals, nutrients, hormones and chemicals which our bodies can utilises.They also are Living Entities with personalities of their own . Their energies interface with ours and they also can speak to us in a language long forgotten. If we listen clearly we can be told exactly which plants/ herbs we need for our healing and which herbs to use with each other.

The learning never stops . I find in my clinic practice , in my herb garden and when manufacturing , new things about herbs that are not recorded in any text books , and knowledge that cannot be taught by anyone , only Experienced . David Hoffman , whom I have met and briefly studied with sums it up in the title of his most popular book - “The Wholistic Herbal."
