Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is one of the oldest forms of healthcare, using the therapeutic properties of plants to support the body’s natural ability to restore balance and wellbeing.
At Nature’s Cottage, herbal medicine is personalised to you. Every person is unique, and your herbal prescription is carefully selected based on your health history, symptoms, lifestyle and individual needs.
Medicinal herbs contain naturally occurring compounds that may help support many areas of health, including digestion, hormonal balance, stress resilience, energy, sleep, immune function and overall vitality.
Tracy is a Registered Medical Herbalist with NZAMH, creating personalised herbal prescriptions tailored to your individual needs. She combines traditional herbal knowledge with modern naturopathic understanding to create individual herbal blends designed to support your health goals.

• Digestive health and gut imbalances

• Stress, anxiety and nervous system balance
• Fatigue and low energy
• Immune health

• Skin health and inflammatory conditions

Following your consultation, Tracy will create a personalised herbal blend tailored specifically to your individual needs. Your herbs are carefully selected and prepared as a convenient liquid tincture, allowing you to easily incorporate the healing benefits of plants into your daily routine.
Consultations are available at Nature’s Cottage in Beachlands, Auckland, or via online consultations throughout New Zealand.
What to expect during a consultation
During your consultation with Tracy, a holistic approach is taken to understanding your health by looking at you as a whole person — not just focusing on individual symptoms.Your health history, nutrition, lifestyle, stress levels, sleep, environment and current concerns are explored to help identify the underlying factors that may be influencing your wellbeing. Where appropriate, additional assessment tools such as iridology, facial analysis, Quantum Reflex Analysis and functional testing may be used to provide further insight.
Your personalised health plan may include nutritional recommendations, herbal medicine, lifestyle support and natural supplements designed to support your individual health goals.
Your first consultation allows up to one hour. During this time, Tracy will gather detailed information about your health and discuss your priorities. After your appointment, she researches your case and prepares a personalised treatment plan, which is emailed to you along with recommendations and guidance for moving forward.Some natural remedies may be provided at the time of your consultation, while others may be prepared and sent to you shortly afterwards.
A follow-up consultation is recommended one to two weeks later and takes approximately 30 minutes. This allows time to review your progress, discuss any changes and fine-tune your personalised health plan.
