About The Author: Lizzie Kershaw

"For many years I have been interested in herbal medicine and started writing articles in our local circular. As a child I suffered from painful earaches and sore throats resulting in frequent use of antibiotics. Later, exploring alternatives to chemical drugs became a passion.

Growing up in a family of doctors and nurses would no doubt have inspired me to follow a path of healing. I trained as a naturopath as well as further studies and have been making natural medicines for over 40 years."
