Best Herbalists Amsterdam Near Me

4worldlovers: Ate my first wild garlic leaf of the year, whilst leading an Urban Herbology Walk, this morning. It was delicious and I’m now filled with spring fever (and garlic breath ;).

Wild garlic / Daslook / Allium ursinum is always to be found here in January, if you know where to look, but it’s a little ahead of normal. There are also lots of other bulbs pushing up, such as crocus and daffodil and you wouldn’t want to confuse those as they are not to be eaten.

My next public walk is February 9th (a Thursday) and I’ll set another date very soon for my Wild Garlic Workshop. Didn’t do it last year but feels good to offer it again soon.

So, today we all took home some oyster mushrooms and wild garlic bulbs, as well as a selection of edible leaves. Ground ivy and violet leaves being my favourites at present


I made an omelette of Oyster and Wood ear mushrooms, comté and brie. Hard to describe the experience in my body cells, which the wild garlic brings.


I could smell spring yesterday evening, cycling through town, didn’t dare mention it, but today it’s conclusive – Spring has Sprung! Well at least for foragers and those affected by Hazel pollen…

Please remember that you shouldn’t dig out any bulbs or roots, as a forager, unless it’s your garden (or the paths in the foraging orchards). If you’re determined to harvest so early, be sure that what you pick, stinks of garlic. And that you only take a little from a plant, so it can quickly bounce back and grow new leaves. Also keep your harvesting tidy and sharp, so it looks like you’ve never been there.

In addition to treating your chief complaint, be it tinnitus, common cold, ibs, infertility and multiple other complaints, I am using a powerful point prescription to strengthen the lung qi (defensive qi) and increase resistance to upper respiratory tract infections. Furthermore, acupuncture is a highly effective protocol to release trapped tension and fear that naturally increases during these challenging days. Instant relief, renewed vigour and a feeling of wellbeing are typically experienced during and after treatment.

Treatments invariabley include the Bemer micro-circulation system and Theragem crystal light therapy:

Both of which support acupuncture and help advance the transportation of qi (vital energy) and body fluids throughout

The tissues and organs, promoting greater healing response, improved vascularity, cellular regeneration and repair.

Designed to improve circulation thereby supporting self-regulating healing processes. Blood is the body's universal means of transport. When the body's cells, tissues and organs are adequately nourished and metabolic waste products are removed, the organism becomes healthy and functions optimally.

"The Bemer system represents a grounbreaking innovation for modern preventative medicine"

~ Dr. Rainer Klopp - MD, PhD, Research Scientist at Institute for Microcirculation, Berlin

The highest validation of the science behind BEMER is their collaboration with NASA: chosen as a cooperative partner for the development of the next generation of spacesuits, paving the way for integrating BEMER technology into human space flight.

Using naturally occurring wave frequency, colour, light and crystalline energies, promoting accelerated tissue repair and homoeostasis on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. Gemstones include: emerald, sapphire, citrine, diamond, carnelian, ruby and topaz. https://medicahealth.org/crystal-light-therapy/

Contains natural amethyst, obsidian and tourmaline gemstones that release far infra-red and negative ions. Enhanced with sophisticated PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field system) PEMF is based on the Earth’s natural 7.83 Hz frequency (Schumann Resonance) This frequency is the most compatible with your body’s natural biorhythms.

Update from professor James Robb MD, molecular virologist at San Diego University. "Zinc lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking Coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. (the virus primarily attacks the upper respiratory tract) Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel any "cold-like" symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx"

Tip from Paul: When travelling: arriving at an airport, getting on a plane, tram or train, break off a piece (half or quarter) and let it dissolve on the tongue..

Artemesia: (You may have heard of Wormwood in one of Harry Potter's books)

Qing Hao/Artemesia Annua (Wormwood) the herb that was discoverd by Dr. Tu Yuyu in 1981 to combat malaria, and subsequently saving millions of lives, has been used succesfully with a combination of other support herbs to boost immunity and help cure elderly patients who had contracted Covid-19.

Found to boost the body’s type 1 interferon response to fight RNA viral infections “including C-virus.

Historical anecdotes tell us that the lavender field workers and perfumers of the Middle Ages survived the Plague because lavender protected them from the lethal bacteria. http://peacevalleylavender.com/power_of_lavender.html

Harvard University urges people to perform Yoga every morning to help fight COVID-19 symptoms:

There's been so much overemphasis on washing hands (with chemicals) yet so little emphasis on eating healthy organic food, superfoods, supplements, high quality vitamins power-plants, adaptogenic herbs, yoga, tai chi, breathing exercises, meditation, connecting with trees and nature, and using natural disinfectants such as pine or tea tree oil. These are the power tools to strengthen your defence against viral infections.

Before a client arrives at the clinic the air is sprayed with tea tree and lavender and used in a diffuser. Tea tree is nature's disinfectant: it kills a long list of pathogens: viral, bacterial, and fungal. Recent studies have found that tea tree oil is particularly good at eradicating gram-negative bacteria, such as the bacteria that causes pneumonia (pneumonia is often presented at the onset of corona infection)

I mostly use super thin Dong Bang Korean acupuncture needles. They are of the highest quality, made of sterilised, stainless steel and are single use.

For those of you who enjoy gardening and foraging at the River of Herbs Orchards on your own, you are always welcome. Here are the important tasks for the next few weeks:

Path clearing of weeds – and if the weeds from the paths are edible or medicinal, feel free to take them home. Otherwise into the large willow woven compost bin (in the shady mushroom orchard).

Edge trimming of stinging nettles – nipping them down enough, so people walking the orchard paths don’t sting that legs.

Tree seedling removal – from where they can be reached without trampling the other plants and underground animal nests.


Removal of wild garlic flower and seedhead spikes, from adjacent to the paths. To reduce the amount of seedlings in the paths resulting from falling mature seeds.
