About The Author

"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."

Lizzie Kershaw is a qualified and experienced naturopath, teacher and drug and alcohol counselor.
For 25 years, she has worked with many healing modalities; specializing in children’s wellness.

She has four sons and three granddaughters.
During the past 20 years, she has also enjoyed figuring out how to make herbal remedies and now has her own range of tried and tested Pure Earth products.
