How quickly does herbal medicine work?

Before I answer this I thought I would start with what you can use herbal medicine for.

Herbs can be used with all health conditions and work synergistically with your body. 

So for example if you are living with IBS and you want that under control, we would include herbs for anxiety,herbs for your gut, anti-inflammatory herbs, anti-spasmodic herbs to stop the cramping.

We would also talk to you about your diet. We may ask you to keep a food diary to see what foods are triggering your symptoms.

If poor sleep is your challenge, we would work with you with herbs for anxiety, herbs to quieten a racing mind. We might include gut herbs as gut issues could be part of the problem.

We use parts of the plant and plants specific to your condition/s a range of herbs are used as they blend synergistically. Amounts are carefully selected.

So how long do herbs take to work? This does depend on the individual  and their state of general health. But as a guideline 2-3 weeks. And you won't experience any unpleasant side effects.

Each initial consultation is for 1.5 hours. To book in to see me visit my website www.urbanbasedwellness.com or emai me urbanbasedherbalist@gmail.com
