Just as nature moves slowly and intentionally through its cycles and seasons, our healing takes time and intention as we move through our own cycles and seasons.
Trust the timing. The journey is the healing.

Meet Lindsay Munro

Clinical Herbalist
The Green Oak Herbal Clinic and Apothecary

Hi! I'm Lindsay, a clinical herbalist practicing in Newport, Co Mayo in the west of Ireland.

I work with adults, teens, and children experiencing a variety of health issues. I use herbs in the form of tinctures, teas, powders, and topical applications as well as diet and lifestyle adjustments in order to support your health and wellbeing.

I am here to hold space and listen compassionately to your health story and to support your unique needs with the plants that can help you can find more balance, more health, more vitality, and more ease in your body.

I love working with the plants to support you as you take ownership of your health.

Why Herbalism

Why Herbalism?

Seeing a clinical herbalist for your health is very different than what you may have experienced at your doctor's office. Herbal medicine takes a whole-person approach to understanding your current symptoms, which begins with a detailed initial consultation where we talk about all the systems in your body in addition to your current symptoms or concerns. By looking at all of the systems of your body and connecting the dots between the different systems, my approach looks for the patterns happening in your body as I investigate potential root causes of your symptoms.

My goal as your herbalist is not to simply manage your symptoms with herbs but to see if we can, together, identify the underlying reasons for your symptoms and then treat you holistically. This means that I consider many potential influences on your overall health like stress, nutrition, lifestyle, environmental impacts, sleep, and your current and past emotional wellbeing.

This is why herbal medicine is not a "one size fits all" approach like western medicine often is. You are an individual with many things contributing to your current health picture and you deserve individualised healthcare that is tailored to your specific needs.

Digestion

Good digestion is central to good health. Herbs can help support your digestion with issues like constipation, IBS, liver support, indigestion, etc.

Fatigue

Fatigue is becoming more and more common, especially after covid. Herbs can help support the body to come back into balance and increase energy and vitality.

Allergies and Skin

Alleriges can cause hay fever, skin rashes, or gastric upset and herbs can help strengthen the respiratory and immune systems to soothe allergies.

Acute Illness

Many herbs help to stimulate the immune system and are antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and can support during acute illnesses.
