Nau mai, haere mai ki te Herbal Health Waiheke.

Helen Elscot is a fully qualified medical herbalist, naturopath and writer based on Waiheke Island, Aotearoa, New Zealand.

She has worked and studied with Ms. Ricki Anderhuber and Mr. Kerry Bone, founder of Mediherb in Australia, Mr. Mark Blumenthal, President of the American Botanical Council, the late Dr. James E. Duke, ethnobotanist and Pa Ropata, founder of Tiwaiwaka and Donna Kerridge, founder of Ora New Zealand.

With more than twenty years of clinical practice in natural and plant-based medicines, her passion lies in helping people achieve their health potential by blending scientific knowledge with traditional herbal wisdom.

Helen offers clinical care, ongoing support and practical advice on how to achieve a more grounded, natural approach to wellbeing and assisting you with knowledge, care and respect.

A naturopathic consultation with Helen is centred around truly understanding your health story. During the initial one-hour consultation, we take a comprehensive health history, including your medical background, dietary habits, exercise routine, and lifestyle factors such as work, sleep, and stress levels. This allows us to gain a holistic view of your overall health and wellness.
During your consultation, Helen will take the time to ask detailed questions about how your body is functioning on a physical level. This includes assessing key areas of your health such as digestion, bowel habits, lung function, and reproductive health, among others. By understanding these aspects, Helen is able to gain a thorough picture of your overall health and identify potential areas that may need attention.
At the end of your consultation, Helen will ask you what is important to you in gaining better health. A plan may include herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, and dietary or lifestyle recommendations designed to support your specific health goals. It’s important to remember that your treatment plan is not one-size-fits-all – each plan is crafted to reflect your personal goals, abilities, and any limitations you may have.

What our clients are saying

“Helen has an incredible knowledge of plants, nutrition and natural remedies. She views the body holistically and is always very helpful and offers well thought through solutions to health issues that arise. She has always been so helpful and supportive of whatever query I ask her about. I feel very lucky to have access to her knowledge and care.” Sue


“I used to get sick every winter, catch every cold for a month at a time. I felt like I was constantly catching some cold or virus! Since connecting with Helen, the difference is night and day. I almost never get sick anymore, and when I do, it’s for a few days and very mild. I have got my whole family onto Helen’s tonics, my mum, dad, brother, and husband. The results are undeniable! Helen is knowledgeable, responsive and caring - we are so lucky to have her on the island taking care of our community. Can’t thank you enough, Helen!” Zoe


“I have had several consultations with Helen over the years. She has a relaxed manner and is very qualified and very knowledgable. The tonics that I am prescribed are very beneficial for mind and body.” Margaret
