TOP 7 QUESTIONS I HEAR FROM PATIENTS
Will I be on the treatment for long?

When can I get back to work?

Why pay for a consult when I can buy Herbal medicine over the counter?

Answer :When you see a professionally trained Herbalist or practitioner trained in Herbal Medicine you are getting the minimum of years if not decades (in my case) of training and experience, rather than a salesperson perspective or minimal knowledge. Simply put you will end up paying more for the cheaper over the counter or 'quickie' consult given by  retail outlets.

Can I take Herbal Medicine when I am on Medical Drugs?

Answer: Yes, however it is important to be professionally monitored by your healthcare workers; GP and Medical Herbalist etc. The important aspect here is that when your health progresses to a better sense of wellness then treatment requirements will change.

 

Can I take Herbal Medicine before and after the surgery?

Is this 'alternative' form of medicine validated by science?

Answer: Absolutely ! Actually Herbal Medicine (HM) is used by 75 % of the planet. Therefore, HM is really the majority form of medicine and the amount of research is vast and validated by reputable journal contributions.

However, the educated in the field of HM will be able to discriminate the valuable articles.
