Christine Herbert

Christine Herbert qualified as a herbalist in 1997 and has been practising and learning herbal medicine ever since. She retired from practise in August 2019 in order to be able to write, teach and mentor.

During the years of her practise she added iridology, flower essence therapy, kinesiology and allergy therapy and used all those elements in her practice alongside a large proportion of nutritional advice. She specialised in digestive disorders and allergy/intolerance health issues, but all health issues were addressed in her practise.

She served on the council of the Association of Master Herbalists for several years and is still a member of that professional association. She was also one of the organisers of Herbfest UK for seven years.

She co-edited, and wrote many articles for The Herbalist, the journal of the AMH and URHP. Previous to this she was a senior biomedical scientist for 20 years working for the NHS in haematology and blood transfusion.

With her partner, Mark, she runs a self-sufficient small holding in Norfolk UK, growing many of the herbs she used in her practise, and describes herself as being madly in love with all plants, whether they are for medicine, eating or both. http://www.christineherbert.co.uk/

She is the author of two books published by Aeon Books https://www.aeonbooks.co.uk/:
