HERBAL MEDICINE
Jo Dolby - Dip.Her.Med
Jo is a trained medical herbalist who uses herbs, nutrition, flower essences, and different testing methods to restore wellness and support an individual’s health. Jo believes that herbs can be used to improve a persons wellbeing, giving them tools to take back control of their health, rather than their health continuing to control them. Jo has an interest in chronic health conditions, including cancer support and autoimmune disorders.
