Do you use oils or tools during Zen Shiatsu massage?
Generally, no. I will occasionally apply liniments to acute strains, sparing, and fractures. However my best work comes directly through my hands, elbows, knees, and feet.
-
Will my herbal medicine remedy work on the first try?
Sometimes, but not always. Some trial and error is to be anticipated in the initial prescription. Matching a formula to your situation is akin to a “lock and key”. The perfect formula opens up the solution for your problem.
-
Do I have to wear a mask during treatment?
Masks are no longer required while you receive treatment. However, as Covid-19 and other airborne diseases are a reality, please evaluate yourself carefully before coming to treatment. If you do have a fever, chills, sore throat, sudden unexplained stuffy nose, respiratory difficulty, or other unexplained acute symptons, please cancel your appointment and stay home to get better.
-
Do I have to go to a store to pick up my herbs?
No. Once a formula is determined, your granulated herbs will arrive by mail, typically within 3-5 days of your consultation.
-
Do the herbs have to be cooked?
No. Your herbs will be delivered in granule form, much like instant coffee. They are very easy to take and only require adding hot water.
-
What happens during a herbal consultation?
Herbal consultations involve many questions plus tongue, pulse, and abdominal assessment to arrive at a remedy. Your initial consultation lasts 75 minutes, and follow-up sessions are 1 hour.
