Well-being is very important to us at Folkestone Wholefoods. Our ‘Well-being Corner’ is located at the bottom of the shop, by the till.
Local Medical Herbalist Lynda Jones supplies our ‘herbal apothecary’ and Folkestone Wholefoods partner Klara Darkly sources our supplements and healing range.
Klara is available for informal advice on Wednesday’s between 10am – 4pm.
Herbal Apothecary
Our Herbal Apothecary is stocked with around 50 different herbal tinctures, syrups and
distilled herbal waters supplied, and then refilled (to protect our wonderful planet) in pretty
glass bottles. We also have a selection of medicinal dried herbs dispensed by the scoopful
into paper bags, or your own jars. The tinctures and dried herbs are top class medicinal
grade, from UK companies who supply professional Medical Herbalists. They are almost all
organic with a small exception if it’s not possible to source responsibly.
There are guidelines and responsibilities associated with health advice. Our staff can sell the products but cannot give advice, thus, please be patient if they express their limitations. If in any doubt contact Lynda for a consultation. You will also find Klara Darkly serving in the shop on Wednesdays, who also has a wealth of expert knowledge in natural health.
Self Limiting Complaints
These are most easily described as things that would eventually clear up on their own but you would like a helping hand with, like colds, coughs, hay-fever, short term insomnia, tummy upsets, aches and pains, exam nerves, travel sickness, occasional head-aches. Those with underlying health issues or taking other medicines will most likely need to speak to Lynda who will prescribe specific or personalised herbal medicine. A private consultation may be more appropriate in some circumstances. www.lyndajoneskent.co.uk for more information on Lynda’s Consulting Services.
Supplements
We also stock carefully selected supplements, from ethically and environmentally friendly
companies as well as foodstuffs helpful in maintaining good health.
Topical products for the likes of sprains, cuts, bites, skin conditions etc can also be found
here.
