Our Clinical Practice
At Ivywood Apothecary, Ross and Marina grow and produce most of the herbal medicines used in their clinical practice.
They create high-quality medicines from plants they cultivate by hand, as well as from wild plants gathered from the hedgerows and woodlands of Ivywood. They believe deeply in working with medicines they grow and prepare themselves, combining sustainability with therapeutic intention.
Ivywood’s gardens include native Irish medicinal plants, Chinese medicinals, Ayurvedic plants, and rare species from around the world. Marina’s Indian-Irish heritage and Ross’s horticultural experience help shape a diverse and powerful apothecary.
Their clinical approach combines herbal medicine, naturopathy, and nutritional therapy.

What is Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine has been used for centuries to support healing and restore balance. Modern herbalism combines traditional knowledge with contemporary scientific research, forming a safe and effective healthcare system.
Medicinal plants are prepared as tinctures, teas, infusions, decoctions, oils, vinegars, or salves. A tincture extracts therapeutic compounds in alcohol at controlled strengths.
Understanding optimal harvest times for different plant parts is key to medicinal potency and is covered in Ivywood’s educational courses.
