What will happen in the consultation?

The first will last approximately 90 minutes during which time the herbalist will ask the patient detailed questions about their complaint, general health, well-being and lifestyle including diet, exercise, medication and family health. Blood pressure is also checked.
Where appropriate and with permission, a clinical examination may be carried out; for instance of the abdominal area or chest. This may require removal of some clothing.
Subsequent treatments last approximately 45 minutes. They provide the opportunity to discuss progress and make any necessary changes to the treatment.

What treatment may be prescribed?

Treatment may include advice on diet and lifestyle changes as well as herbal medication to drink or apply in the form of tinctures, teas, lotions, juices, creams or tablets.
