Testimonials

Posted with permission of my clients.

April 2023: Lorraine’s name came to me by chance and I have never been more grateful.
After having an operation for cancer I was given some drugs which gave me the most horrendous side effects , forcing me to come off them , and recover.This was when Lorraine’s details were given to me and from then on I have gone from strength to strength. Knowing little about herbalism I entered the treatment with an open mind – and over a year later I feel better than I have felt in a long time. I cannot sing her praises loud enough. Her knowledge is extraordinary – and it works !

July 2021: Dear Lorraine
I am very grateful to you for your wonderful caring advice and herbs as I seemed to have turned a corner and no more grumbling abdomen and tolerating all kinds of foods I would have thought inappropriate!!
My appetite has returned which is a great relief as I was heading down the weight loss route.
So a Big Thank you!!

Oct 2020: After consulting Lorraine at The Purbeck Apothecary about my joint pains, I have been trialing capsules over the last month. To my surprise, after only a couple of days I could feel a distinct improvement in my joints – particularly my knees. A month on, I have felt such relief to what was constant ache in my joints. Amongst a number of other products I would recommend, I must mention the fabulously rich Peppermint & Chickweed Foot cream which has worked wonders on my gnarly old stumps. I am writing this now as Lorraine certainly knows her stuff and I whole heartedly recommend her and the wonderful products of The Purbeck Apothecary.

Dec 2019: As a family we have tried several treatments – in the form of tinctures, creams and sprays. The clearing cream for my teenagers is brilliant and my 12 year old says it is the only cream that actually works on her spots. The tincture and lotion for a bout of warts ? that had been hanging around for a couple of years were eradicated in 2 weeks. Amazing!! I definitely would recommend The Purbeck Apothecary to anyone – beautiful service, packaging and the best ingredients.

Oct 2019: I can’t thank you enough for the Conditioning Scalp Oil. DH had a flaky scalp for years, and tried various shampoos with no joy. Now he massages his scalp with your Oil after a hair cut and the dandruff has completely gone. I am really impressed and it just goes to show that treating these sort of problems with your kind herbs, is better for the planet and scalp!

Jul 2018: The Purbeck apothecary is a gentle, sensible, kind and knowledgeable herbalist. Her conventional medical credentials are first rate and she brings that to her deep knowledge of plants and herbal medicines. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to find natural ways to enhance their wellbeing.
