FAQ
Monday, December 7th, 2009Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What conditions can Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine help me with?
A. A natural or Traditional Chinese approach to your health may help anyone in any state of health or disease. Any problem you would consider asking your family physician about, or any disease found in a textbook of internal medicine can benefit from a holistic approach.
Q. Are the herbs dangerous, are there any risks to taking herbs?
A. When prescribed by a trained professional, such as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (D.O.M.) there are no risks to taking herbs. I have treated thousands of patients and only on a few occasions did a patient report to me that they felt a little upset stomach from the herbs.
Q. How often will I need a follow up evaluation?
A. Generally, the first follow-up is at 10 days (this is included with the initial cost), again 30 days later (at which point you have the option to switch to capsules), and then between every 30 to 90 days. Some level of improvement in a condition is expected to have begun by around day 45. We look to continue to build on that improvement over the next several months, gradually tapering your dosage of herbs and modifying the components of the formula. Eventually the herb dosage is reduced to nothing.
Q. How long will I have to take the herbs for?
