About the Business
Prior to opening the apothecary Wendy worked for six years as the medical herbalist for a NHS pharmacy. During this time she established a large client base. Her time working in an NHS pharmacy gave her a better understanding and knowledge of pharmaceutical drugs and possible interactions with herbal medicines. It also underpinned her knowledge of the efficacy of herbal medicines in getting to the root cause of disease not, simply to treat the symptoms. This is the ethos of herbal medicine. Wendy works in a holistic manner, reviewing the entire body rather than just looking at various body systems in isolation. Holistic approaches take into account the individual's emotional state as this impacts on health and well being. Additionally, diet and lifestyle is considered along with the use of herbal medication. Treatment from a medical herbalist puts emphasis upon the individual's role in achieving radiant health, it should be considered a team effort between herbalist and patient.

Lewisham, South East LondonWhen I came to her, I was struggling deeply with drug use and a long list of medical issues that felt overwhelming. From the very beginning, she treated me with compassion, patience, and zero judgment — something I desperately needed at that point in my life.
With her guidance and herbal support, I was able to get off drugs and start healing both physically and mentally. She didn’t just hand me products — she took the time to understand what was going on with me and helped me find natural solutions that actually worked. Over time, I noticed real improvements in my energy, my mood, and my overall health.
What makes Budds special is that she genuinely cares. She checks in, listens, and adjusts things based on what your body needs. I finally feel like someone is on my side when it comes to my health instead of just masking symptoms.
I am beyond grateful for wendy Budd and her remedies. If you’re struggling and feel like nothing else has worked, I can honestly say she gave me hope and helped me turn my life around. I will forever recommend Budd’s Herbal Remedies she an amazing person.
