“ Karl is a skilled and insightful practitioner who truly listens.  Following his careful and thoughtful visit to us, he went away and mixed herbal teas and herbal tinctures for us both which have been  highly effective.   We happily and warmly recommend Karl .”

R S, Sheffield

I was recommended to see Karl through a family member, during my consultation Karl made the environment a safe space to discuss sensitive life history and sensitive topics. I had NHS letters with my diagnosis of hypertension and other information, Karl was able to look at my blood documents and letters and explain what they meant in a way that I understood which was a huge relief for me. Karl's herbal mix is really benefiting my health, alongside my orthodox medication my hypertension is under control. He explained exactly what the herbs would do to reassure me, and gave lifestyle advice which has hugely benefited me. I would totally recommend Karl to any 50 year old chap who wants to regain their health!

I have had multiple follow ups with Karl and have really got to the root cause of my issue. Karl is a fantastic herbalist who aims to get to the root instead of symptom treating only, this is what I needed and is definitely a rare find. He is compassionate, a great listener and really cares about his patients. He has gone above and beyond by giving techniques and supplementary info to me for my own knowledge and benefit. I’m so grateful to have come across Karl, and thankful for a genuine herbalist who cares about his patients. I would totally recommend Karl to family and friends.

Testimonials from both patients and Degree level herbal students

"Karl’s professionalism was evident from my first appointment, which lasted nearly two hours. Never before had I had such an opportunity to discuss my health issues in such detail. His determination, (something I’ve never experienced with doctors), was evident, throughout. I’ve found him to be honest and respectful always. Also totally focused on me and my health conditions 

Empathy and understanding were paramount with Karl, going over our discussions in detail, with paraphrasing and questioning, to determine if I understood, what points he was seeking to make. I have had many negative experiences with doctors, surgeons and specialists, but not so with Karl, as his responsibility of care is obvious. He made it obvious to me that those experiences were in the past and that on his watch, communication was paramount. 

His knowledge of herbs is astounding and at every point explained to me what herbs he was intending to use and why. 

Karl was always clear about his fees, explaining everything and leaving it up to me to decide what I wanted to happen. Even when my situation changed as I retired, he responded, respecting my new financial position, by accommodating me with  what I could afford. 

I would and have recommended him to many friends and family, whom I know have had excellent results from his care. 

Thanks Karl".  J.B. Ireland

"Karl is very attentive and caring. Karl goes above and beyond his role as tutor to ensure I am as calm as possible and is always available to talk through issues to do with my studies, as well as personal issues. He has helped point me in the right direction with resources for my assignments, which has been very valuable."  A.M. Devon

End of C.W. treatment review

"I first met Karl Bedson at my fibromyalgia support group a little over a year ago I was instantly drawn to his warmth, quirky sense of humour and his no nonsense approach to his profession which he is so passionate about and I thought finally here is someone who understands my condition.  From our first appointment Karl was willing to listen to even the tiniest symptoms, you know the ones you never actually mention to a doctor as you don't think they matter or are worried they might just think your moaning.  This is not true with Karl he wants to know everything and will encourage you to mention everything you can possibly think of and then dig even deeper to get a complete picture of your symptoms.

With Karl's support, my herbal mix and a range of herbal teas my fibromyalgia symptoms quickly began to ease in fact I improved so quickly I don't know who was more shocked me or Karl.  We had a few ups and downs as we progressed with my journey but even after a couple of rough months I had through the winter I never lost my belief in the power of the herbal mix or my faith in Karl, as he was always there for me with support, advice or just sometimes a friendly chat.

I cannot stress enough what lengths Karl will go to, to help lessen your pain, ease your condition and lend you a sympathetic ear.  Karl has a very professional approach combined with warmth and compassion and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Karl neither money not gratitude will ever be enough to pay you for what you have done for me you gave me a life back I though was lost to me forever.  I urge anyone with anyone suffering and not having much joy with the usual medical approach to visit Karl and put your faith in a herbalist, for when I think back to how I was a little over a year ago, I can't believe how far I've come and I wouldn't be here at this point in my life now without help from this wonderful man."  C.W. Chesterfield

"My experience with Karl has been fantastic and I’m honestly not just saying that to be polite! I switched from a different tutor who was nice but unfortunately could not answer many of my questions about the course content. I was nervous to make the switch but after my first meeting with Karl, I was so relieved to know that I was finally going to get some support. He is attentive, funny, and generous with his knowledge and time. He is involved in the course, and keeps up with the goings on. It’s been a really great experience."  S.G. Brighton

"To whom it may concern: I would like to endorse Karl, and his Medical Herbalist treatment. 

I started off, with his treatment, with a very in depth, first session, lasting a couple of hours. I found his manner, very comfortable and enquiring. Undoubtedly, he has a massive knowledge of herbs and the human condition. I progressed with his tincture and teas, and have seen lots of progress with my condition. This has also involve, lifestyle changes and a commitment to a  healthier lifestyle, on an ongoing basis. I remain committed to his regime. I would recommend him to anyone".  J.M. Ilkeston 

"You would not believe my daughter's skin, Karl gave a bottle of herbs for her liver and innards, within a week she needed less concealer and by three only a little mark on her chin.  She is delighted and it made up for the awful tasting mixture she had to take.  Now she is on a reduced dose with the idea that she can up the dose in case of a flare up, wonderful".  P.J. Ashbourne

"Visited by Karl for panic attacks and bad sleep, he listened and asked some obscure questions but gave some advice and dropped of a bottle of interesting tasting medicine the next day, by our next appointment my sleep was much better and I'm much calmer with only two small panic attacks in the two weeks, which is brilliant for me and much better than other things including tablets from my doctor that I've tried, really seem to have an energy boost and I'm planning on rejoining a gym again (which used to cause me instant panic attacks), thanks Karl and I hope this helps".  N.F. Matlock

Part way though C. W. treatment review

"I first met karl at my fibromyalgia support group where he kindly joined us to give a talk on the benefits of herbs in relation to chronic illness. I was instantly fascinated by the subject and hung on to every word. Having gone home and done a little of my own research i decided to contact karl to set up an appointment. Right from the beginning karl put me at ease as many people dealing with chronic illness know communicating with health care professionals is not always the easiest of tasks either not enough time at your appointment or they are unsure of what to suggest to do for you next. This is so not the case with karl he is a wonderful listener and no details of your symptoms gets overlooked finally someone who wants to delve in deeper to get to the root cause of your illness. During my initial appointment i realised this was someone i could trust someone who only had my best interests at heart and who was dedicated and eager to help me. I have followed karls wonderful advice not only with my herbal nerve mix but also herbal teas and supplements the results of this combination began to show in a matter of weeks. Throughout the process i have felt supported and guided with karl regularly checking on me and is only a phone call away should i need any thing. I am now feeling better than i have in years all my symptoms are greatly reduced and its amazing not to go through everyday in so much pain and its all down to an amazing intelligent man who probably does not get the recognition he so greatly deserves. I would urge anyone who is suffering or who feels let down by main stream medicine to give the alternative a try. I am so grateful to karl for all of his help and guidance he is a true professional with an incredible amount of knowledge and dedicated to his field of work. I would recommend karl to anyone and i often do".  C.W. Chesterfield
