The Herbal Health Clinic

Julia’s Herbal Health Clinic was established in Marlborough in 1990 by qualified Medical Herbalist, Julia Davidson. The Clinic is located in leafy Severne Street in Blenheim, just minutes from the CBD, and there is ample free parking. It offers a calm, tranquil, and discreet environment for consultations.

Julia has been practicing for over 20 years and offers a holistic range of natural healing services including herbal medicine, nutrition advice, allergy tests, and specialised support for cancer patients.

Patients come to the clinic in the same way they would go to a GP for health treatment – the difference is that Julia offers natural healing to replace or complement traditional medicines and treatments.

The healing properties of herbs have been recognised for over 3000 years. Herbs act gently, helping the body to heal itself and treating the cause of illness, rather than the symptoms. There is much scientific and clinical evidence supporting the positive effects of herbal medicines.

Julia treats the underlying cause or problem, rather than merely relieving the symptoms.

So, whether it’s a baby who’s not sleeping or suffering with colic, a teenager with acne, an adult with migraines, or someone suffering with arthritis – Julia can help.

Many health problems stem from underlying digestive problems. Sound nutritional advice and an individualised eating plan can work wonders.

• Sports nutrition – for those wanting to enhance performance, prepare for a special event or just have the stamina to enjoy their chosen sport more.
• Arthritis – tailoring diets to remove inflammation-causing foods, and thereby reducing arthritic symptoms.
• Eczema – removing trigger foods, building ‘gut health’ and boosting the immune system.
• Infertility problems – eating plans to improve the chances of getting pregnant.
• Gastric problems and irritable bowel syndrome – working with you to fine-tune your diet so you are not aggravating your condition, but restoring your ‘gut’ to good health.

Julia is able to administer appropriate allergy tests (such as skin prick tests, or saliva testing), which are then analysed in accredited laboratories. Once diagnosed, Julia is able to work with her patients to create individually tailored treatment plans.

Julia works successfully with clients across the allergy spectrum – from those suffering from hayfever and sinusitis, to food allergies and intolerance.

Julia works with patients with cancer – according to their own individual circumstances and needs. This may involve such treatments as eating plans for supporting the immune system while undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or herbal medicines to complement traditional medicines and alleviate symptoms.
