When administered by trained professionals, herbal medicine can provide treatment for various ailments with a low risk of side effects and a great safety record. Because they are created from natural plant products, herbal medications contain various elements, each of which has a unique set of advantages that complement one another. This can often differ from pharmaceutical drugs, which focus on one symptom.
How do I prescribe?
Herbal medicine comes in many unique forms dispensed for you, and no two prescriptions are the same. They are as unique as you are. Herbalists don’t use one herb for one ailment. We spent a long time talking with you, finding out what was happening in your life when your condition started. We find out about your diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress levels, gut health, and bowels.
When we come up with a prescription for you, we will look at all this information gathered and you may be prescribed internal medicine for an external problem where we believe many factors are involved. The mixture can contain 5-8 herbs in a mix, all specific to you and different from what the next patient will be prescribed. Sometimes I may give you a herbal tea mix or a cream/oil if I think that’s relevant.
After the consultation, I will go away and give this some thought, carry out any research I feel is necessary and then make up your prescription, which I will take payment for at the consultation time.
This will be ready for you to collect from my practice within 2-3 days – I will text/email you when it is ready. I can also post prescriptions out).

FAQs
After the initial consultation, we’ll make an appointment for two weeks’ time for a free 15-minute “catch up” session to see how you’re getting on with the herbal medicine and discuss any concerns you may have. If all is going well then, I’ll give you enough medicine to see you through for 4-6 weeks until your follow-up appointment (payment for medicine to be taken at the time of the consultation).
As we don’t need to go into so much detail as the first consultation, the follow-up appointment lasts up to 30 minutes. We’ll discuss the issues you brought up previously and anything new that may have come up since we last met. I may carry out a physical examination again if I feel it’s relevant. After the first follow-up appointment, I’d like to see you every 4-6 weeks depending on the individual case to monitor your progress. I may “tweak” your prescription a little by changing a herb or two here or there if I feel it would be more successful. Between appointments, if there is anything you need to discuss you are more than welcome to drop me an email.
Annoyingly, there’s not a short answer to this. Some herbalists believe that the longer you’ve had the issue, the longer it may take to resolve it. You may have a serious condition that cannot be cured by conventional or alternative medicine, but you find that herbal medicine helps keep you feeling well long-term. Women’s hormonal issues can take longer to resolve as we only know how effective the treatment has been once a month. Having said all that, some people respond very quickly to herbal medicine and their bodies rapidly return to a state of balance.
