Can herbal medicine be taken when following vegetarian, vegan, and other specialised diets?
Yes! All of your dietary needs will be discussed and considered during our assessment, however these herbs are safe for all dietary restrictions.
-
Which public transit stations are near the clinic?
The closest subway stations are Dupont, Christie, and Ossington.
It is a 10-15 minute walk from each of these stations to the clinic, and there are frequent buses you can catch.
-
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.
-
Is Zen Shiatsu only for physical relief?
No. While Zen Shiatsu is wonderful for offering relief to physical ailments, I have helped many clients with depression, nervousness and anxiety, insomnia, anger and frustration, worry, and grief.
-
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.
-
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.
