HERBAL CONSULTATIONS
A full initial consultation provides the setting to offer patients a thorough intake during which health concerns can be heard and space can be held for further inquiry. Following a full herbal consultation, an individualized treatment plan will be developed to address wellness concerns using plant medicine.
For new patients, it is recommended to begin with a Full Initial Consultation to ensure a thorough history & understanding of your wellness as an individual is observed and recorded in order to navigate effective herbal treatment.
After our discussion, medicinal preparations are custom formulated for patients in consideration of the signs, symptoms and wellness goals of the patient - these may include tinctured herbs, teas, capsules or topicals. Most often, these medicines can be prepared in house for the patient to take home to begin treatment directly after our consultation.
Following a patients first appointment, a treatment plan will be provided including:
• an explanation of our herbal treatment approach
• lifestyle/supplement/diet /referral recommendations
• what to expect as far as changes in symptoms & general wellness in relation to duration of herbal treatment
• an approximate schedule for follow ups.
