Foundations of Herbal Medicine: Interpreting Dorothy Hall’s Teachings in Clinical Practice - A constitutional approach to herbs, Bach Flowers, and emotional wellbeing

This webinar explores how Sue Lohmeyer has integrated the teachings of renowned herbalist Dorothy Hall into over 25 years of clinical practice.

Drawing on Dorothy Hall’s constitutional approach, Sue will demonstrate how understanding an individual’s nervous system type (“the personality of the person”) can guide more precise and effective herbal prescribing. The session will explore the relationship between personality patterns, emotional tendencies, Bach Flower remedies, sun zodiac signs, and herbal selection.

Through clinical explanation and practical examples, Sue will show how combining these elements allows practitioners to create personalised herbal and Bach Flower formulations that address the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual contributors to dis-ease.

This webinar is suitable for practitioners and students who wish to deepen their understanding of constitutional herbal medicine and apply a more holistic, person-centred approach in practice.
