Consultations.

 

The first consultation lasts 1 hour and a detailed health history is noted, including health in childhood, family health history if known, current lifestyle, any chronic health issues, and any history of disease in the family, as this may have had an impact on current health problems. 

​

For example a history of food poisoning may have led to chronic digestive issues, as the original infective agents may not have been cleared completely.

​

Follow-up consultations last 30 minutes.

​

A slightly shorter consultation may be provided for children if required.

​

A liquid herbal medicine is usually provided incorporating herbs specific for the health symptoms experienced.  Herb teas may also be recommended to support the herbal medicine.

​

Medicine is usually taken for one or two months to have a lasting effect, and possibly longer if the condition has been longstanding for several years.  It is said that the medicine may be needed for   ''a month for every year the condition has been experienced''.
