Biography
Christopher Roe BSc hons medical Herbalism
Massage Therapy
Aromatherapy

I studied at The Scottish School of Herbal medicine in Glasgow, a school which attempted to teach both the science and art of herbalism. Although the modern laboratory biochemist may corroborate much ancient knowledge it is observation and generations of clinical experience that forms the basis of how I use herbs.

One of my favourite places in the world. Memories of the walks in the wilderness will long be with me.

To make herbs easily available I sell ready made mixes for day to day problems such as sleep, stress, anxiety, coughs and colds. These I can prescribe without the need of a consultation.
