About Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine aims to help the body heal itself. We take a holistic approach, looking at the person’s body and mind as a unit to uncover the underlying issues that cause ill health. Herbalists use plant based medicines such as tinctures, teas and powders, coupled with other proven strategies tailored to each individual patient and their specific lifestyle.
​
Yovi’s Herbal is committed to ethical practice which is why our practitioner has a BSc (Hons) in Herbal Medicine, is fully insured and is registered with the relevant professional body. Why settle for anything less when your health and well-being is at stake?
What to Expect
​
Once you book your appointment, you will receive an e-mail with a registration form to fill in along with our policies that you will need to read and sign.
During your first appointment, which will last one hour, a full case history will be taken, and you will be given a physical examination. This consultation will allow us to understand the underlying cause of your problem. We are going to discuss and go through all body systems as well as your diet and lifestyle habits. This will give you the opportunity to speak in detail about what is troubling you. We will then formulate a treatment plan that is appropriate for your needs. No disease or illness is the same, and each person is unique in their treatment needs.
Once the initial consultation is complete, a bespoke herbal prescription will be formulated for you.
​
A follow-up appointment will take place 3 to 4 weeks after the initial consultation, and will last half an hour. During this time, we are going to follow up on your progress, and you will have the opportunity to share any concerns or difficulties that you have faced.
​
Please note that herbal prescriptions will not be ready for collection on the same day as your appointment. Once your herbal mix is prepared, it will be dispatched to your chosen address, or you can collect it by hand if you wish. Standard delivery charges apply.
​​
A foundational principle that will make your treatment work is understanding the agreement between the practitioner and the patient. A practitioner commits to giving you their best advice, support, guidance and appropriate herbal remedies. You, as the patient, commit to following the advice and treatment to the best of your ability.
