Even as a child I had a great love of plants. I started my first herb garden when I was 12 years old. When I left school, I studied Horticulture, not long into my three year apprenticeship, I discovered I had a pollen allergy which caused me to have chronic sinusitis for 15 years. Doctors told me to change careers but I persevered, with the help of prescription drugs that gave me symptomatic relief but never much more.

After 15 years working in Horticulture, I tried a herbal mix for sinus and got such a great result I was a convert to herbal medicine. The herbs I was prescribed help dry up my sinuses, restore the health of my mucous membranes, reduce inflammation, improve my immune system and clear up my underlying infection. The treatment worked on many different levels and got to the root cause of my problem. Unlike previous conventional treatments which suppressed the condition and only gave symptomatic relief. I continued the treatment for two months and my sinusitis cleared up and I no longer suffer from this condition. With the great results I got from this treatment and my horticulture background I decided to pursue a career in Herbal Medicine. I studied at Naturecare College.
