Frequently Asked Questions
Learn How it Works!
Are herbs safe?
By in large, yes, herbs are generally safe and have been used for thousands of years. However, each herb has a different safety profile, contains different chemical constituents, and has different contraindications.
Have you heard the saying “the dose makes the poison?” This is an important concept to remember when using herbs, food, pharmaceuticals, or other substances. I have completed numerous courses on safety, materia medica (using herbs), and pharmacology to make sure that I am well skilled in using herbs safely as well as appropriate dosage ranges.
How often will we meet?
Generally we will meet for our initial appointment and have 1-3 follow ups depending on your health goals, current state of health, and motivation. We can have as many or as few appointments as you desire. Many clients find great benefits in having a long term relationship with a herbalist as a continued ally for optimal health.
Can you help with xx condition?
Herbal consultations are designed to be holistic and to consider the individual and not the disease. Hippocrates once said that it is “more important to know what sort of person has the disease than what sort of disease the person has.” My work focuses on supporting and balancing the body using herbs and other natural therapeutic tools. Making changes using herbs, nutrition, and other lifestyle modifications may positively impact health conditions. In addition, many herbs have been used and studied in the integrative health field with positive results.
However, consultations are not a substitute for medical care and do not include diagnosing or treating disease. I am not a medical doctor or other licensed health care professional. In addition, I am unable to answer personal health questions by email. Please get in touch with me to schedule a consultation if you would like to discuss your personal health.
