😝 Does it taste horrible?

😝 Yes, but it tastes better the longer you take it.

🤯 What if I miss a dose?

🤯 That's fine. Take it at the same time everyday. Set a reminder on your phone, or get a family member to remind you.

🙈 What if I accidentally take a double dose?

🙈 That's fine too. Herbal Medicine tastes very memorable 😅, so you're less likely to take double than you are to forget to take it at all.

👩🏼‍⚕️ Not without an initial consultation. Once you've had your first appointment and first prescription made, you can buy your herbal medicine whenever you need a top-up.

🧐 Can I use someone else's herbal medicine?

🧐 While the herbs I use are generally safe, their effects vary depending on a person and any medications they may be taking. I wouldn’t recommend someone using a remedy that wasn’t prepared for them. If a friend or family member is interested in herbal support, I’d be happy to guide them in finding something suited to their needs.
