At your first appointment, a comprehensive medical history is taken, including about your lifestyle and diet.  Where appropriate, a physical examination is carried out, which may confirm or complement the diagnosis of your General Practitioner (GP).  Please bring with you any prescribed medication, herbal supplements or results of any available medical exam.  A suitable treatment plan is negotiated with you.

Follow-up appointments may be required after a fortnight and subsequent visits may be every four, six or eight weeks, depending on your needs.  If your health is stable, you will be posted repeat prescriptions for up to two months.

Your prescription herbal medicine will consist of the best quality extracts available in terms of purity, concentration of active ingredients, knowledge of traditional use and scientific data.  You may be supplied with tablets, capsules, tinctures, fluid extracts, herbal teas, juices, distilled waters, aromatherapy essential oils or creams.
