Herbal research

I have been a researcher all of my career, specialising in both qualitative and quantitative approaches. I have over 60 peer-reviewed publications, and when I was Head of Herbal Research at Pukka Herbs Ltd I established many university partnerships around the globe to explore the health benefits of herbs and natural ingredients.

You might require someone:

  • Who understands the herbal industry and can slot into your unique environment quickly and get on with it
  • With exemplary research skills and experience
  • With established networks
  • To help your company write rapid reports, or speak for you at events.

My research services include:

  • Exploring new herbal, health or wellbeing subjects through narrative review, systematic review or meta-analysis
  • Reviewing the literature to support health claims
  • Finding interesting science to help with communications
  • Creating talks and articles for you.

Important note:

I do not use artificial intelligence in my writing or content creation. What I produce for you is original, intelligent, balanced and takes an inclusive view of the world. AI produces “slop” which is un-original and comprises often biased views based on digital content.
