How are you certified? I'm a certified herbal practitioner through one of the most prestigious herbal medicine schools in the United States, the East West School of Planetary Herbology and a member of the American Herbalist Guild. I am not a doctor. I genuinely care about getting to the source of your medical condition and finding ways to relieve your symptoms by correcting the root of the illness for healing that will last.
How long do herbs take to work? More often than people think, herbal remedies and body work can cause immediate relief from the condition, working as well or better than many prescription medications. In other circumstances, for deep layers of chronic conditions, the body chemistry itself needs to be re-balanced and this may take months, but it's worth the time and effort.
Is prescription medication compatible with herbal therapy? The idea of herbal medicine and holistic body work is to get the body balanced and functioning optimally so that it can heal itself. If you have a prescription that is working for you, then our goal will be to address the source of the condition such that the potentially damaging prescription medications are no longer needed. However, your prescriptions should not be stopped without consulting with a physician.
How can I get a consultation and recommendation for herbs when I live in a different state or country? Ideally it is best when the client is able to meet in person to get an overall picture of the client's constitution and state of being, as well as for using pulse and tongue diagnosis. However, a detailed intake form and a tongue photo in natural lighting are the most critical tools in accessing the proper herbal therapy, and this can be done completely remotely.
Why not just get medication from a doctor? How is Herbal Medicine better? Western Medicine and pharmaceutical drugs are powerful tools for treating symptoms and saving lives, but often have side effects and are unable to address the root cause of illness and chronic conditions. My personally formulated powerful herbal remedies are designed specifically to address and correct the source of your problem while avoiding the long list of side effects that accompany prescription and over-the counter medications.
