Consultations & Treatment
Before you book an appointment for a full one hour initial consultation it is often worth having a free fifteen minute phone call with myself to answer any questions you may have about herbal medicine, treatment plans and costs involved.
​
An initial consultation will usually last around an hour and involve taking a detailed medical history as well as information about current complaints. At the end of the consultation a follow-up appointment will be arranged usually for a months time.
​
After the consultation a management plan and a tailored prescription will be prescribed where required. The prescription will be made in my dispensary and posted to you. There may be an option to collect from the clinic.
​
Follow-up appointments usually last between 15 minutes and half an hour and continue depending how long herbal medicine is needed. This time scale can vary depending on the health condition and for how long you have had the condition.
