Consultations

The clinic offers two forms of consultation:

 

1. Private Consultation

A private consultation is carried out by a qualified herbalist. The clinic employs five qualified herbalists. The consultation is in private with the herbalist. However, as it is a clinic connected to a school of herbal medicine, a student assistant will initially ask the patient some questions by way of record-keeping but is not involved in the actual consultation. 

Sometimes the herbalist will ask the student to spend a few minutes with the patient at the end of the consultation, during which he or she will share recipes, etc.

All such advice is given under the strict guidance of the herbalist.

A private consultation costs €70 and takes an hour. Herbs are charged separately and cost approximately €70 to 100 for a month's supply. This can vary slightly depending on the herbs needed.

Patients usually attend the clinic about once a month for three to five months, but this too can vary depending on their health situation.

 

2. Group Consultation

A group consultation is similar to a private consultation but differs in that there will be four to five students observing the consultation. The actual consultation is carried out by a qualified herbalist, assisted by a senior student. They are all mature adults, so it is a very respectful environment, and patient confidentiality is central.

There is no charge for the consultation, but if the patient wishes to have herbs prescribed, the herbs are charged separately. Herbs are charged separately and cost approximately €70 to100 for a month's supply. This can vary slightly depending on the herbs needed.

Purchasing herbal remedies is entirely optional. The consultation takes just over an hour. 

Patients usually attend the clinic about once a month for three to five months, but this too can vary depending on their health situation.
