The practitioner will then be able to prescribe herbal medicine treatment for your ailments, as well as giving advice about possible changes to your lifestyle and diet. Your remedy may be made up of several different herbs, as it will be adapted by the practitioner to suit your needs. Remedies can be prescribed in many forms, such as syrups, oils, capsules or creams as well as infusions, teas or juices. You can request a follow-up appointment to discuss your progress.
