Jan de Vries -
World Renowned Naturopath
Jan de Vries has been synonymous with expert complementary healthcare for over 40 years both in the UK and in other parts of the world.
A native of Holland, in 1959 Jan met the famous Swiss naturopath, Alfred Vogel, the man who was to have a profound influence on him.
Alfred Vogel introduced Jan to what is now referred to as 'complementary medicine'. Jan was so impressed by this man and his breadth of knowledge of the natural lifestyle that he left pharmacy to study first homoeopathy, then later on naturopathy and acupuncture.
In 1960, Jan de Vries and Alfred Vogel started the very first naturopathic clinic in Holland.
In 1970, Jan set up his first UK clinic in Troon on the west coast of Scotland where he still practices today at Auchenkyle. Jan now has a total of four complementary healthcare clinics, three affiliated clinics plus a number of health and diet shops across Britain and Ireland which he visits regularly to consult with patients.
Jan has written 40 books on a host of health problems and he contributes advice columns and features to many magazines and newspapers. He also broadcasts regularly and is in constant demand as a popular and insightful lecturer.
Jan de Vries was appointed Honorary Professor of Complementary Medicine at Edinburgh's Queen Margaret University College in 2002.
In the spring of 2008 Jan received three of the natural health industry’s highest accolades:
The James Henry Cook Award for his outstanding contribution to natural health, and complementary and alternative medicine, presented at the Health Food Industry annual luncheon;
the HFMA Maurice Hanssen Award of Honour, presented by members of the Health Food Manufacturers’ Association (HFMA) to a deserving individual for outstanding services to health; and the Natural Products Outstanding Achievement Award.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can they be taken alongside other remedies or prescribed medications?
Yes. There are no contraindications with other herbal remedies or prescribed medications.
How long do they take to work?
Most Essences will give almost instant relief for stress and panic situations but they will also work on long-term problems. e.g. If you are taking a remedy to help with boosting your confidence in public speaking, it will help immediately to boost your confidence for a specific talk but taken over several months will give you the overall confidence to get up and talk anytime.
How do they work?
Flower Essences work on the emotional/mental aspect of a condition. It is well known that stress or anxiety can manifest itself in physical symptoms if continued over time. Many common ailments suffered today are as a result of untreated stress. By releasing the emotional/mental stress there will also be a physical healing as well.
How many can you take at once?
You can take several remedies at once if needed. A good example would be taking Emergency Essence when needed to help with panic attacks but also taking Confidence Essence long-term to deal with the underlying fears.
Can children take the Essences?
Yes. Most of the remedies are suitable for children over the age of two.
What is the best way to take them?
If you are dealing with a particular problem you can take the Essence in water every day for as long as needed. If, however, you are in an emergency situation you can put several drops straight under the tongue. The Essences are very handy to use as the bottles can be carried in the pocket or handbag and used on the spot if needed.
