Medical Herbalism

What to expect during the consultation with a medical herbalist?

During the first consultation, you will discuss the nature, onset, and progression of your complaint. Juliana will also take a detailed history of your past health conditions, medications, as well your family medical history. Taking a detailed history of your health will help to build a picture of you and your overall health with the emphasis on assessing the underlying causes of your condition, which will allow Juliana to tailor the best herbal treatment for you.
To assist with the diagnosis, Juliana may ask if you would mind a physical examination which could include taking your blood pressure, listening to your lungs and torso with a stethoscope, examining more closely your skin, tongue, eyes, hands and nails. She may also refer you for further tests with your GP or privately, and please bring with you any test and investigation results you have already done.
Juliana will ask questions about your nutrition and lifestyle as part of your consultation. If your diet needs attention, she will support you to adapt your eating habits so that your body and mind are getting nourished and able to sustain your immune function and energy requirements.

Herbalism is for everyone and can help with chronic and acute conditions. Herbal treatment can be taken on its own or complementary to allopathic and other therapies. Any drug interactions and contraindications between herbs and medication you might already take are carefully considered by consulting pharmacology databases and the latest research.

The approach of modern medical herbalism.
More than ever, there is a need to provide safe, effective and practical health care solutions.

A properly trained medical herbalist can therapeutically prescribe medicinal herbs following traditional herbal wisdom and the latest scientific understandings of the therapeutic qualities of herbs, anatomy, physiology and pathologies.
