The following case scenarios reflect the diverse patients I’ve had the privilege of treating over the years. As you read through them, I invite you to gain a deeper understanding of your own health. While you may experience symptoms or diagnoses similar to others, it’s important to remember that the underlying causes can differ from person to person. This means that healing begins by addressing your unique root cause, rather than relying on what worked for someone else or a quick solution you found online or through a recommendation.
Consider these case scenarios as a tool to help you observe yourself and make informed decisions that are right for you. After all, your body is your most valuable asset, and your health is your greatest wealth.
I will continue to update these case scenarios regularly. Subscribe to receive them directly in your inbox as soon as they’re uploaded.
Remember, health is the ultimate form of wealth. With a healthy body and a calm, clear mind, you can tap into your inner wisdom and live a life filled with joy and purpose.

He credited Gotu Kola Complex for helping him remain composed and, for the first time, truly enjoy the experience.
This young man had studied the driving material extensively and practiced countless times, but his anxiety created an overwhelming sense of inner turmoil before and during the test. This anxiety prevented him from accessing the knowledge and skills he had worked hard to learn. The anxiety caused a physical and mental barrier that kept him from performing at his best.
In this particular case, Gotu Kola Complex worked similarly to meditation or even as a mild analgesic, like taking paracetamol for a headache. It temporarily reduced the anxiety symptoms for 3-4 hours, allowing the individual to think clearly, perform his tasks, and face the test with a sense of calm.
Just like meditation can offer short-term calm or a pain reliever temporarily alleviates discomfort, Gotu Kola Complex allowed him to break free from the shivering anxiety and engage with the task at hand. When your body is relieved from the inner tremors of anxiety, it gives you the opportunity to turn inward and work on identifying and addressing the root cause of the problem.
When taken consistently for 2-3 months, Gotu Kola Complex can help the body better manage stress and anxiety, reducing the internal turbulence. Even when fearful or negative thoughts arise, the individual becomes more resilient in letting them go without being consumed by them. This is similar to how regular physical exercise builds stamina over time—initially, someone may find it difficult to run for even 10 minutes, but with consistent practice, they will be able to run for 30 minutes without fatigue.
Taking Gotu Kola Complex regularly enhances your ability to cope with daily stresses and emotional challenges. Over time, you begin to respond to situations thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively.
I have been recommending Gotu Kola Complex to my patients and clients in my clinic since the early 1990s, with excellent results. It’s important to understand both your physical and mental health—when you are in tune with your normal healthy state, it becomes easier to recognize when things deviate and take the necessary steps to restore balance.
Remember, Health is True Wealth. Take charge of your well-being, and let Gotu Kola Complex support your journey toward emotional resilience.
A young woman in her early thirties came to the clinic seeking help for persistent digestive discomfort that had been affecting her life for several years. Her symptoms included:
She had been suffering with these symptoms for over four years and had tried medications like omeprazole, lansoprazole, and Buscopan, but found little relief. Her condition was causing significant distress and anxiety, especially in social situations or at work, where she feared passing gas or burping unexpectedly.
Despite undergoing an endoscopy and abdominal scan, which showed normal results, her symptoms persisted, and she was advised to continue with lansoprazole.
Due to financial constraints, she was unable to pursue a full consultation to address the root cause of her condition but sought something over the counter that might provide some relief in the meantime. She mentioned she would be ready for a proper consultation in a few months.
This case appeared to be a typical example of digestive tract inflammation. Many people today suffer from gut sensitivity and inflammation, which can affect the digestive lining from the mouth down to the anal passage. In this patient’s case, certain foods — particularly spicy foods, like chili — seemed to irritate the gut lining.
After ruling out any serious or life-threatening conditions (such as cancer), Angela recommended the following over-the-counter herbal formulations:
1. Marshmallow Root Plus: A combination of herbs to reduce inflammation and heal, strengthen, and soothe the smooth muscle lining of the gut.
2. Berberis Plus: A blend of herbs designed to support digestion, improve food assimilation, and reduce gas formation. It also has carminative properties to ease bloating and discomfort.
3. Gotu Kola Complex: A combination of herbs to help relax the nervous system and alleviate the anxiety and fear surrounding her digestive issues, particularly her concern about burping and flatulence.
Dietary Advice: She was advised to avoid milk, yeast, and wheat products, as these can sometimes contribute to digestive distress.
After two months, the patient reported being about 40% better. On days when she followed the dietary recommendations, she was almost symptom-free. Encouraged by this progress, she eventually came in for a full consultation, which allowed Angela to better understand the root cause of her condition.
It turned out that her work environment was a significant factor. Her manager had been undermining her efforts, causing her significant stress and anxiety. She dreaded going to work each day, and by Sunday night, her symptoms would worsen as she mentally prepared for the upcoming week.
After three months of focused herbal treatment and lifestyle adjustments, the patient managed to bring her concerns to HR, which led to a transfer to a new office. She was much happier in her new environment, and all of her symptoms disappeared. She now enjoys a fulfilling work life, is able to eat a wide range of foods (including spicy ones), and has a supportive social circle both at work and outside.
To manage occasional stress, she keeps Gotu Kola Complex on hand and takes it before important projects or presentations at work to calm her nerves.
While over-the-counter remedies can offer temporary relief, it’s crucial to consult with a holistic medical herbalist or practitioner to get to the root cause of the problem. True health and well-being come from addressing both physical and emotional factors, allowing for a happier, more fulfilling life.
Recommended productsAn 18-year-old student visited the clinic seeking relief from persistent sneezing, a runny and blocked nose, and sinus discomfort. His symptoms were particularly bothersome during the summer months, making it difficult for him to concentrate on his A-level studies. Although he had tried several antihistamines in the past, they only provided limited relief and caused drowsiness, further impairing his ability to focus.
The patient first came to the clinic in April, three years ago, in search of help to manage his symptoms before his exams. His symptoms included an itchy sensation in his nostrils that triggered sneezing episodes, followed by a runny nose and eventually a blocked nose. This cycle would repeat every 20–30 minutes.
Anjela recommended the following herbal combinations to address the root causes of his symptoms:
Anjela also suggested he continue this regimen for 3–6 months. Since he was generally healthy with no other medical concerns, a full consultation was not necessary at that time. By addressing the smooth muscle lining and supporting immune modulation, his symptoms improved significantly.
The treatment began showing positive results within a few weeks. The patient reported feeling much better and was able to perform well in his exams. Now, as a university student, he still experiences occasional symptoms when pollen counts are high or when exposed to dusty environments. However, his condition is much improved, and he now takes the Elderflower Complex as needed.
This case highlights the body’s ability to heal itself when given the right treatment. Rather than suppressing symptoms, addressing the underlying causes can lead to lasting improvement and better overall health.
