You can come in off the street and receive professional advice and natural health prescriptions for acute complaints, or book in for a full consultation with one of our practitioners for more complex or chronic conditions.

Herbal Medicine: Herbal Tonics, Herbal Teas, Herbal Creams

Our herbal medicines are prescribed by our qualified herbalists, who mix herbal tonics, creams and medicines specifically to an individual's needs.

There is always a natural-health practitioner trained in supplementation and herbal medicine available to advise you on which product, if any, you could be taking.

Herbal medicine is a system of medicine that exclusively uses plants. It is the oldest form of medicine on the planet and is still used as a primary form of therapy by over 75 percent of the world's population.

It is the forerunner of modern drug medicine, with many chemical drugs based on compounds found in plants. For example, the idea for aspirin came from the salicylates found in willow bark, and heart drugs are still extracted from the foxglove.

Nowadays, there is an enormous body of scientific information and research in the field of herbal medicine, which assists herbalists to apply their traditional remedies with even greater safety and efficacy.

Herbal medicine can successfully treat many common health problems. It is particularly suited to the treatment of chronic disorders such as arthritis, asthma, skin disorders and digestive problems as well as female menstrual problems and improving the functioning of the immune system. But herbs can also be used to assist with acute problems such as colds, flus and infections.

The safe and effective use of herbs is best achieved by consulting with a medical herbalist who will make up a herb mixture to suit your constitution and who can also look at any medication you're on and decide which herbs are compatible, safe suitable.

Bach flowers and Australian Bush Essences

Bach Flowers
Dr Bach re-discovered the gentle healing power of flower remedies in the 1930s and is often known as the father of modern flower remedies. With a vision way ahead of most of his contemporaries, he understood that the true cause of illness and disease in human beings lies in the personality - in the mental and emotional patterns through which we view ourselves and the world around us. His set of 38 remedies was created out of a true desire to help humanity to understand and heal these patterns.

At elementa, we make up bach flower remedies to suit the individual. And, of course, we stock the well known Rescue Remedy.

About Australian Bush Flower essences

Flower Remedies are not new. The Australian Aboriginals have always used flowers to heal the emotions, as did the Ancient Egyptians. There has also been a very long tradition of use of Flower Essences in India, Asia and South America and they were also very popular in Europe in the Middle Ages. Hildegard von Bingen (12th century) and Paracelsus (15th century) both wrote about how they collected dew from flowering plants to treat health imbalances.

This healing method was rediscovered by Dr. Edward Bach sixty years ago through the use of English flowering plants. Today our society and its needs are totally different to that of sixty years ago. There has been a great need for remedies that would help people deal with the issues of the 21st century - sexuality, communication skills and spirituality to name but a few. The answer to this need has come from the Australian plants, developed and researched by Naturopath, Ian White a fifth generation Australian herbalist.

At this time there is a tremendous new vitality in Australia. This, combined with the inherent power of the land, is why the Australian Bush Flower Essences are unique. Practitioners and prescribers world wide are now incorporating the Australian Essences to form an integral part of their therapy.

The Bush Remedies not only help to give clarity to one's life but also the courage, strength and commitment to follow and pursue one's goals and dreams. They help to develop a higher level of intuition, self esteem, spirituality, creativity and fun. The more the Essences are used, the more one is likely to experience greater awareness and happiness in one's life. Then everyone benefits....the individual, society and the planet.

The effect of these Essences is similar to that of meditation in that they enable the person to access the wisdom of their Higher Self. This releases negative beliefs held in the subconscious mind and allows the positive virtues of the Higher Self - love, joy, faith, courage etc. to flood their being. When this happens the negative beliefs and thoughts are dissolved, balance is restored and true healing occurs.
