The Consultation

​

The First Consultation (60+ minutes)

​

At your first consultation the practitioner will listen to your complaints in detail. You will be asked questions about your health and medical history. A clinical examination (e.g. pulse and blood pressure) may be warranted where indicated. 

Depending on the complexity of your issues, a personalised management plan may or may not be designed on the same day of your first appointment.      

 

The Follow-up Consultations (30+ minutes)

​

Follow-up appointments should take place 1 to 4 weeks after your first session and continue as required.

 

How many appointments do you need? 

This will depend on the complexity of your case. Some people will respond more quickly to herbal medicine than others.
