Consultation

Is a comprehensive review of your health history, symptoms and concerns, lifestyle and diet, and utilizes therapeutic assessment methods like iridology, tongue and pulse analysis, and constitution assessment. When appropriate we employ laboratory testing which is non-invasive and the samples are taken and sent to laboratory by the patients themselves from the comfort of their own home. We work with BTSIreland. Laboratory testing can help identify body systems' function and hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, gut health and immune function markers.

 

During your consultation, we will take the time to listen to your health history, symptoms, and health concerns. 

We will ask you detailed questions about your current health status, any existing medical conditions, and any medications or supplements you are currently taking.  It is important for us to have a complete picture of your health to ensure that our recommendations are safe.  We will ask questions about all body systems and their function, This information will help us gain a deeper understanding of your unique situation.

Based on the information you provide, we will then carefully select and recommend the most appropriate herbal remedies for your specific needs and any additional recommended care. We will explain the benefits and potential risks of each herbal remedy, as well as any potential interactions with your current medications.

We will also provide you with detailed instructions on how to use the herbal remedies, including dosage recommendations and any necessary precautions. We will guide you on the best practices for incorporating these remedies into your daily routine to maximize their effectiveness.

Throughout the consultation, we encourage you to ask questions and share any concerns you may have. 

After the consultation, we will follow up with you to ensure that the herbal remedies are working well for you and to address any additional questions or concerns that may arise. We will continue to provide ongoing support throughout your herbal journey with us.

Herbs in Our Dispensary

Primarily we work with Western Herbs and we also use Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs to support our clinical practice. They are whole plant extracts and contain alcohol.  Herbal tinctures and fluid extracts are easily and quickly absorbed into the body, allowing you to reap the benefits of their properties. Typically adult dosage is a teaspoon 3 times daily in a little water, making them very convenient and long lasting remedies, as they are perfectly preserved in alcohol. 

For those who prefer or take no alcohol we offer herbal teas and their blends. The dosage is higher than that of tinctures - requiring 3 cups a day of strong enough infusion or decoction to achieve therapeutic effect. 

And finally we offer practitioner grade herbal supplements in capsule, tablet or powder form, which we can order and send directly to you from practitioner supplies. 

In some cases we may also prescribe topical herbal preparations and nutritional supplements to support healing.

Everything we prescribe we source for you, you will not have to find your own herbs or supplements.
