You’ve been struggling with your gut for a while.
You’ve been to specialists, you’ve cut out foods, you’ve added foods, you’ve tried pills and yoga but you still feel terrible a lot of the time.
Maybe your days are dictated by having access to a toilet and fear you won’t make it in time?
Perhaps you fear using public toilets because of the smell and/or noise you might make?
Maybe you are bloated and uncomfortable for half the day? Clothes don’t fit?
Perhaps you are in pain? Constipated? Loose bowels? Both?
And, you’re done with all the researching. Done with trying the latest ‘wonder solution’ and frustrated by the cupboard full of things which promised the world but didn’t deliver.
You want expert guidance to find a natural solution which works for you.
You have likely been told there’s “nothing (functionally) wrong”, and you may have been given a label of “Irritable Bowel Syndrome” by your Dr. This label changes nothing but gives you a way to try to understand what’s happening in your body.
I hear you and I know how it feels. I have spent years blaming myself for unknowingly eating the ‘wrong’ foods and suffering with constipation and urgency. It’s no fun.
This programme is a guided exploration of 12 herbal remedies to support your digestion - which brings you the information I need to create your bespoke herbal remedy. We will support your journey with relaxation techniques to help you manage your symptoms and stress. Using journalling prompts, we will gather information on your day-to-day experiences, food mishaps, toileting patterns and so much more.
Gathering your own personal experience ‘data’, will enable you to bring to me information about the best of the 12 remedies you have trialled which I can then put together into the bespoke remedy you will take away at the end of the 12 weeks.

“There’s no point beating about the bush. It’s really very simple when it comes to herbal medicine and the gut…
The gut loves the herbs and the herbs love the gut!
It’s such a pleasure working with digestion in my clinics.”
Lucy Blunden, Medical Herbalist since 2008.
I love to work with digestive symptoms as the relationship which develops between herbs and the gut is so special. Gut health is the cornerstone of good health in the rest of our body. Our guts are where we digest and absorb the nutrients from our food and it protects the rest of our body from the things we don’t need to absorb.
With herbal remedies, we can soothe symptoms, heal the areas of discomfort and nuture the digestive tract. The part of your body which has become your ‘enemy’ can be your friend and faithful companion once again.
“It is my experience when working with herbal remedies, that digestive symptoms can be rapidly improved and often eliminated altogther. There is a special synergy which creates a kind of magic.” Lucy Blunden
“I contacted Lucy about a digestive condition I’d been suffering with for a number of months. Lucy gave a thoughtful diagnosis and offered more insight and reassurance than my GP. The medicine prescribed was tailor-made and Lucy tweaked the components with my feedback to get it just right for me. The medicine alleviated my symptoms and helped me to overcome the illness. I’d recommend Lucy and her herbal approach to anyone who feels they’re not getting the best from their doctor.” Pete M
