What can you expect from a Herbalist Consultation?

If you are suffering from an acute health problem such as heartburn orstomach ache, you are welcome to pop into Roots for a quick chat and anover-the-counter treatment such as cream, a tea or standard herbal mixture.
 
For longer term health issues, though, we recommend a full consultationwhich takes around 75 minutes. A full consultation is £50.00 including twoweeks’ medicine.

In most cases you will need two or three brief follow-up appointments toreview your progress and to make any necessary tweaks to your treatment. Theseappointments cost just £5.00 each.
 

What about herbal consultations forchildren?

 
Ken offers herbal consultations for children and these are charged athalf the adult rate. Because a child’s metabolism is faster than that of anadult, they usually need fewer follow-up appointments.
