Herbal medicine is a holistic treatment that seeks to find the underlying cause of disease and ill health rather than concentrating on symptomatic relief and is therefore tailored specifically to each person. 

In order to determine this, the first consultation may last 1–11/2 hrs. to get to know you and evaluate your physical, mental and emotional status, a detailed medical history is taken along with a physical examination, blood pressure and pulse readings. 

Treatment is in the form of high quality, concentrated plant tinctures. Herb teas, tablets, creams or ointments may also be prescribed along with dietary and lifestyle advice.

At the end of your first consultation your herbal medication will be dispensed for you. You will be given enough for 2 weeks when you will need to return for a follow-up consultation to see how you are getting on and discuss on going treatment

Online or Telephone Consultations with a medical herbalist

I believe that wherever possible you should see a qualified medical herbalist for a face to face consultation. Distance consultations are not always appropriate for some health conditions and you will get a far better assessment from a consultation. If you can visit me please book direct on 029 21 32 00 20

​However, I do realise that not everyone has access to a herbalist, mostly due to a lack of geographic access, mobility problems, etc. and I do offer online or telephone consultations where appropriate.
