ARTÁ + Emma Marigold

Hi! I’m Emma Marigold…

I’m a Medical Herbalist & Ayurvedic Practitioner and love formulating unique medicine prescriptions for clients. I teach women how to heal naturally and stay well so they can live the life they truly desire.

I specialise in fertility, hormone balance and period repair and have felt a deep desire for a long time to teach women about their bodies, their hormones and how plants & foods can restore balance and harmony.

This desire came after years of being unwell myself and struggling to find natural solutions to heal my hormones.

Where was this precious lost knowledge passed on from generation to generation from our grandmothers?

From medications that only suppressed symptoms and created horrid side effects, dysfunctional periods and told that this is just what it is like to be a woman…

I knew this couldn’t be the only way… and it wasn’t.

I studied medicine and healed myself naturally from PCOS, Infertility, Absent periods, Chronic Fatigue, Migraines and Acne.

I figured out a simple but effective approach to healing and how to awaken abundant health and fertility… And I’m ready to help you, too.

I created a range of adaptogenic powder blends during lockdown in 2020, when I had an intuitive ‘ping’ to travel to Sicily.

The Mediterranean became my main source of inspiration and unlocked a desire to create medicinal powders connected to Greek mythology.

Having studied Ancient Greek Medicine & finding out on arrival, that Sicily originally belonged to Greece…there was something very kismet about this spontaneous journey.

The products were formulated by knitting together ancient medicine with today's science and integrating that into a modern ritual.

All the blends focus heavily on rejuvenation and contain adaptogenic herbs.

‘Everyone is so burnt out these days, I wanted to formulate medicines that not only heal and build resilience, but taste amazing, and are simple to add to food and drinks’.

The products are now made by hand by Sophia from Palm of Feronia.

What is a Medical Herbalist?

Medical Herbalists work with plants whose traditional medicinal virtues are backed up by modern scientific research. They have studied orthodox medicine as well as plant medicine and are trained in the same diagnostic skills as a GP.

However, herbalists take a holistic & natural approach to illness, treating the underlying root cause of illness, to rid symptoms, rather than just masking the symptoms. They can prescribe plant medicine to be used alongside other medication and treatments, especially to relieve side effects.

The choice of herbs that a practitioner prescribes is based on detailed information given to the practitioner by the client during a thorough consultation.

This allows for an in depth analysis of the clients health, with exploration into the body systems, analysing symptoms, finding clinical patterns & supporting the client emotionally. To close the session a treatment plan is put together & a personalised prescription created for the individual, along with lifestyle and nutritional advice.

Wherever you may be on your journey, a herbalist is there to support, advise & to ensure the client is always educated & empowered, so that they can make the decision when it comes to their health.
