Your first appointment will last for 1 hour, where a full diagnosis is made according to the principles of Chinese medicine.
Herbal formulas (in modern dried granule form) are individually tailored to each person, as the focus is to treat the underlying causes of ill health as well as the symptoms.
Most people tolerate Chinese herbal medicine well and there are few reported side-effects; a follow up appointment is arranged after two weeks to check on progress.
Subsequent appointments are dependent on the nature of the condition and the response to treatment.
Follow up appointments last for 30 minutes, where a prescription may be changed according to the changing symptom picture.
