Tim provides consultations for patients to receive herbal medicine at The Whalley Range Green Man Practice. Initial ConsultationIn the initial consultation Tim takes a detailed case history, starting with your current medical problems. This also covers any past issues as well as your current medication, lifestyle, diet and social situation. He also carries out any relevant physical examinations, including pulse and blood pressure as standard. Next, he makes an initial diagnosis based on his findings from your history and the examination. At this point he may also refer you on, either for further tests or if he feels your problems are beyond his ability to help. In discussion with you he then draws up a health plan detailing relevant dietary and lifestyle advice. Lastly, he prescribes and makes up a unique herbal medicine using herbs that best fit your situation. Herbal MedicinesHerbal medicines may be in the form of tinctures (a blend of herbal extracts in an alcohol/water base), teas or creams, lotions or oils for external application.
Follow Up ConsultationsYou return for a follow up consultation 2 weeks later where further exploration of your condition will lead to changes in your health plan and medicine. Further follow ups every 4 weeks allow additional changes, in response to the way your condition develops through the course of treatment. How long you will need treatment for depends upon a number of factors; these include the nature of your initial problem, how long you have had it and how well you respond to the herbs.
Costs
Please note: Please bring your payment to the initial visit, to cover the cost of the consultation and 2 weeks medicine; and at follow-ups, to cover the consultation and 4 weeks medicine. |
