I want you to be comfortable with your herbal treatment.
Remember herbs take a while to be effective. It does take from one to three months before you start experiencing positive changes and this depends on your age, how many health problems you have, and the severity of your health problem(s).
Instead of setting a predetermined price for your herbal needs, we’ll first determine what type or delivery system you feel you’ll be most comfortable and compliant with. Compliant means that you will take it as prescribed.
Please review this information because I will be asking you about your preference for your herbal treatment. There are several options for herbal formulas:

Tea pills Tea pills look like little black B B’s. Teapills are sugar coated to make them very easy to swallow. You can see a close up picture of the tiny teapills to the left. You wind up taking a large number of the teapills. A typical dosage could be 12 teapills twice daily. This option usually costs the least of all of the herbal formulas available. |

Tablets Tablets may have slight variations in size, about ½ the size of the end of your little finger. Tablets are ground up herbs pressed into this shape. Pros – Most tablets are easy to swallow. You take fewer in number than the tea pills. They may cost a little bit or a lot more than the tea pills depending on the formula. Drawbacks are you may smell and taste the herbs but it’s not usually bad. |
