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.
You can learn more by reading my article, What to Expect: Daniel’s Herbal Medicine Process.
-
Is there more than one herbal formula for a single condition?
Yes. Often there may be more than one formula that can be chosen for your condition. Depending on your constitution, one of these may be effective while others may not.
Generally “hitting the target” happens after the initial consultation and you will feel some positive improvement. To “hit the bullseye” may take a second or third try. Once the correct formula is arrived at, we won’t change it until the condition is resolved.
-
How many Zen Shiatsu sessions do I need?
It all depends on you. I often get good results after one session, however, it usually takes a series of three to see a strong shift in condition.
It is important to remember though that as some conditions take a long time to develop, equally so it can take a corresponding amount of time to undo.
I have some clients that have been seeing me for years to maintain their zone level and enjoy a full quality of life, no matter their age or ailments.
-
Are there any side effects to taking herbs?
The most common side effect is digestive. Allergic reactions are rare.
Digestive side effects may include some distention, bloating, or loosing of stool. These side effects usually pass as your body adjusts to the new substance you are taking.
-
How long are your sessions?
Appointment times are scheduled for 1 hour, with longer 75-minute initial sessions for acupuncture and herbal consultations.
You can find full details on the Rates page.
-
What do the herbs taste like?
They may be bitter, sour, woody, or rooty. Sometimes they don’t taste great, but they are by no means terrible!
