Herbal consultations and assessment
A Chinese herbal medicine consultation looks at your health from a whole-person perspective. This may include discussion of digestion, sleep, energy, stress, menstrual health, pain, temperature, appetite and other patterns. Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment may also include tongue and pulse assessment where appropriate.
The aim is to understand the pattern behind your symptoms and decide whether herbal medicine is suitable. If herbs are recommended, your practitioner will explain the formula, dosage, timing, safety considerations and likely review process.
