What to Expect
A phytotherapy consultation involves a thorough health history review and discussion of your goals. The herbalist may assess your tongue, pulse, or ask about digestion and elimination. A personalised formula or protocol is prepared — often tinctures, teas, or capsules — with guidance on dosage and lifestyle factors. Follow-up sessions track your progress and adjust the protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are herbal remedies safe?
- Most are safe when used appropriately. Some herbs interact with medications or are contraindicated in pregnancy. Always work with a qualified herbalist and disclose all medications.
- What conditions can phytotherapy address?
- A broad range — digestive complaints, hormonal imbalances, skin conditions, anxiety, sleep disorders, immune support, and more. It works best alongside, not instead of, medical care for serious conditions.
- How long before I notice results?
- Varies widely. Some people feel shifts within days; chronic conditions may require consistent use over several weeks to months.
