Personal Comment
Jackie’s approach to treating illness is focused on the whole person and not just the symptoms of disease. She combines orthodox medical knowledge and experience of using herbs and essential oils when considering treatment strategies for her patients; and by doing so provides a powerful therapeutic approach. Every prescription is tailored to meet each person’s unique needs. Jackie’s extensive herbal Dispensary contains tinctures, creams and essential oils. The herbal medicines prescribed are mainly biodynamic tinctures; they are of exceptional quality and give a high level of successful treatment outcomes.
