You are invited to

Treating Infants and

Elders with herbs - a constitutional perspective

with Hedley AHG

organised by Guy Waddell URHP

Saturday 14th

February 2009, Regent’s College, London, NW1

Infants and Elders, what do they have in common?

Infants are recently come from the womb and are still wet and

defenseless. Their immune systems are not fully formed. Elders have

used up their wetness in 'blood, sweat and tears'. They have become

dry and brittle and their immune systems are weakening.

In infants the life force is strong but not yet firmly grounded. In

elders the life force is dying down and becoming less firmly

grounded. Both are frail. Both are close to the spirit and

therefore open to insights into their own condition, which is harder

for people in the busy, middle times of life.

Infancy and old age are the extreme ends of life, which gives them in

practice much in common. They both lack independence, which usually

means having to treat the whole family, and deal with their

expectations and fears. This can make it difficult to see your

patient as an individual and treat them with due respect.

It can be daunting being asked to treat people newly born and people

near death. I will take this opportunity to explore what I was

taught, that 'there is always something a herbalist can do'.

Hedley is an experienced and internationally respected

herbalist, trained by the National institute of Medical Herbalists.

He is a professional member of the American Herbalists Guild. He is

a skilled teacher and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and

currently teaching at Westminster University. He has taught herbal

medicine for 25 years - at all levels from beginners to MSc and in

all its aspects from gardening to clinical practice.
