CLINICAL HERBALISM

Initial appointment $180 (2 hours).

Follow-up appointment $100 (60 minutes).

Sliding scale and 80% subsidized appointments are available.

Herbalism (aka herbal medicine) is a tradition that predates the medical system that we know today. In herbal medicine, the leaves, flowers, roots, seeds, and bark of a wide range of medicinal plants are used to bring about balance and health to the body. These medicines support but do not override the natural processes of the body. Our herbalists create remedies best suited to your health challenges which can include: herbal tinctures, glycerites, teas, capsules, or aromatic waters. The herbalist may also recommend oils, creams, salves, or nutritional supplements as well as dietary, and lifestyle changes.

Herbalists use remedies made from whole plants or plant parts. They believe it helps your body to heal itself or to reduce the side effects of medical treatments.

Currently, herbs are applied to the treatment of chronic and acute conditions and various ailments and problems such as cardiovascular disease, prostate problems, depression, and inflammation, and to boost the immune system, to name but a few.

What to expect from your herbal appointment:

Appointments are available by phone or Zoom.
Your first herbal appointment will be 60-90 minutes long.
The herbalist will ask about
any medications, herbs, and supplements you currently take.
The appointment will also include a detailed health history and a review of your diet. We work from a patient-centred philosophy, so our herbal recommendations will be tailored to meet your health goals.
After your appointment, the herbalist will prepare recommendations and research your current medications to avoid herb/drug interactions. After that, your herbalist will be available to explain and answer questions about the recommendations.
We are able to dispense herbs and supplements from our extensive apothecary and these can be mailed to you.
The herbalist will follow up after a few weeks to see if you have any questions or feedback about the herbal remedies.
