About the Herbal Consultation
About the Herbal Consultation
Your herbal consultation takes place online using Zoom. I use a password to ensure the security of our session to maintain your confidentiality. I ask questions to learn more about your health and wellbeing so that I can effectively create a treatment plan for you.
Occasionally herbs can interact with prescribed medications. I must be aware of any medications that you are taking. I also need to know if you have any allergies or other medical conditions. This is essential for me to create the best herbal remedy blend for you.
The First Consultation
The first consultation is to discover more about your health and to create a wellness plan. Your wellbeing journey begins here.
Typical treatment aims are to:
- Improve sleep
- Help with relaxation
- Balance mood
- Support hormonal balance
- Improve digestion
The first consultation takes between 60 and 90 minutes.
Your wellness plan consists of herbal remedies and lifestyle and dietary advice.
The following consultation usually happens after two weeks.
I may refer you to your GP for further tests if needed.
Follow-Up Consultations
Your first follow-up consultation is approximately two weeks after your first consultation. We see how you have responded to your herbal remedy and whether it needs to be adjusted. I may offer more lifestyle or dietary recommendations. I try to pace recommendations so that we can assess their impact and make it easier for you to implement change.
Further consultations usually take place every 2 to 4 weeks. Your herbal blend is adjusted as necessary.
Over time your treatment plan and herbal blend may change to meet your changing needs.
You may find that you wish to continue your herbal remedy long-term. Your blend will be available for you to re-order. I would advise we have a consultation once or twice a year in this instance.
