A case study by Harriet Coleman

Problems with IBS, digestion, stress, fatigue and low energy levels were majorly affecting this patient. This health story explains the herbal treatment process behind restoring her back to health.

Introduction

This patient contacted me with health concerns and wanted to work on symptoms and diagnoses made by previous health professionals. They were going through a very vulnerable time with major life changes, pressures, and losses all at once. The patient was very open and accepting of any adjustments and adaptations advised from myself. We focused on the root causes, and enhancing balance and harmony within their body, lifestyle and environment. We worked with both Western Herbalism and Ayurveda. 

The patient’s health concerns and intentions:

  • To settle and reduce digestive issues
  • To regain and regulate energy
  • To feel balance within themselves and externally
