About the Consultation
 
The purpose of the consultation is to determine the cause (where possible) and best possible treatment for the individual.
 
The first consultation is about an hour.  Questions will include those which help clarify the complaint, but will cover past medical history, diet, lifestyle, allergies, medication and self-medication and a review of body systems.  Other diagnostic techniques may be employed if considered necessary, such as, blood pressure, pulse and tongue analysis.
 
After the consultation a personalised mixture of herbs, often in tincture form is made up and usually posted to the individual.
 
It is usually necessary to have a course of treatment to assess progress. These can vary in length according to the condition.  Follow up appointments are about half an hour.
 
Herbal medicine can treat a wide range of conditions including:  IBS/digestive disorders, menopausal/hormonal conditions, arthritis, skin conditions, allergies, stress and stress related conditions.
