About Me

Hi, am Dr Rhoda Deers, a registered Unani Tibb practitioner. I have completed a BSc: Complementary Health Science (UWC), BCM: Unani  Tibb (UWC), a BA Hon in Anthropology (UWC)  and am currently pursuing a Masters in Anthropology (UWC) focusing on the topic of food as a Healing.

 

Unani Tibb is a Greek-Arabic ancient healing system that emphasises that health is not only within bodily functions but also connected to the human's natural environment. In this way, healing occurs when there is a balance between human and their natural environment. 

 

I have a keen interest in Eco-Health and am currently pursuing postgraduate studies focusing on Medical Anthropology with a research interest in food beyond its nutritive and phytochemical healing values.

​

I have merged my academic interests and medical practice by ensuring that my private practice has an eco-conscious approach to healthcare that acknowledges the interconnections between humans and nature. 

 

My services range from comprehensive consultations where a specific treatment and lifestyle plan is developed to group workshops for dietary-specific meal planning for metabolic diseases and allergen-free diets.
