Herbal Medicine Consultation for Women's Wellbeing
Combined Initial Consultation
The Women's Well-being consultation takes a bit longer than a standard Initial Herbal consultation as there are a number of additional specific questions addressed. You will usually be in the appointment for 90 to 120 minutes.
The Herbal consultation is the same as a standard western herbal consultation and includes questions on:
-
Presenting symptoms
-
Past medical history
-
Social and lifestyle factors
-
Nutrition and fitness factors
-
Family history
The women's consultation also includes:
-
Detailed discussion of your past journey of menstruation
-
Questions on your current situation and where you are in your journey of womanhood
-
Physical/Emotional/Mental journey with womanhood
-
Spiritual/Soulful experiences of womanhood
-
Your specific Gynae/Repro journey
If you have any specific questions about your unique journey, we can discuss them at you at your first appointment. If you would like to have a brief chat with me before booking, please email her or arrange a call-back via Southcote reception on 01622 661883.
Initial Women's Consultation
First appointments take 90 minutes.
Your case history may include:
-
Current presenting issues (the main reason(s) for your visit)
-
Past medical history (including your childhood, up to your more recent health)
-
Diet and Lifestyle (what you eat, the quality of your sleep, the exercise you do)
-
Social History (whether you drink alcohol and/or use tobacco products)
-
Self-Care (how much time you have to relax or enjoy hobbies just for you)
-
Women's Well-being Questions (exploring your journey of womanhood)
Non-invasive physical examinations may include:
-
Checking your bloodpressure
-
istening to your heart and lungs
-
Taking your temperature
-
Feeling your tummy
-
Checking your pulses
-
Other non-invasive examinations
After your initial appointment I may also suggest therapies:
-
Tuning Fork Therapy for the Womb
-
Jikiden Reiki
-
Sound, Crystal, Magnetic and Colour Therapy


Follow-up Consultations
The frequency of herbal follow-ups is dependent upon your unique situation.
Follow-ups are 45 minutes. After your first consultation, there will usually be 2 to 4 weeks before an initial follow-up and then the distance between appointments will depend on your progress.
Follow-up Therapies
Treatments may be recommended for you by me, depending on your unique situation and I will discuss this with you if appropriate.
After your first consultation, in addition to herbal medicine, you will also be able to book other treatments with me such as Jikiden Reiki, Womb Tuning Fork Therapy and crystal, colour, sound and magnetic therapy. Generally the sessions will be 60 minutes each.
Prescriptions
Each main herbal prescription is uniquely blended for a patient.
For 'acute' or short term issues, you may not need prescriptions for more than a few weeks or months, however for 'chronic' conditions a maintenance prescription may be needed in the longer term.
There may be one or more Herbal Teas (infusions/tisanes), Tinctures (alcohol-based liquid medicines), Syrups (glycerine or sugar-based liquid medicines) as well as powders, lotions and creams etc.
In some cases, I may also suggest a supplementary product such as a tablet form of herb or oil from a reputable source when needed.
Herbal medicines may act fairly quickly for certain issues however in some cases they may take more time to fully begin their work, sometimes a few months of treatment will be needed to see more significant changes.
Initial Prescriptions: Usually for a 2 to 4 week time frame to get you started on your herbal medicine and see how you progress in the short term, then your prescription will be re-evaluated.
Follow-up & Repeat Prescriptions: After an initial two to four weeks, a prescription may be altered or adapted a little to refine its effect. Going forward I may then continue to tweak a prescription as needed until it works at its optimum for your unique health and well-being journey.
