Chinese medicine can be used by people of any age or constitution. I will take any previous or current illness or medication into account before prescribing herbs to you.

With suitable adjustments for dosage, children and pregnant women can very well be treated by Chinese medicine.

Chinese herbs can be prescribed in a number of different ways- in their natural dried state or in a more processed way as granules, syrups, tinctures or pills..

I find the traditional method of prescribing unprocessed loose herbs ( known as ‘raw herbs’) is better than the processed powders as I find that some of the qualities  of the raw herbs can be  affected by processing , for example ,  the warming or cooling effect  of a herb can be diminished through processing.

The ‘raw’ herbs do not always  suit everyone so I also prescribe pills or powdered herbs

The traditional method of preparing the raw herbs is to boil a mixture of dried herbs to make a tea. The herbal tea can at first taste unusual and often bitter to anyone who has not tried them before, but the vast majority of people get used to the taste very quickly.

The Herbs:

I prescribe ‘raw herbs’. These are herbs that have not been processed – they are mainly the dried leaves, roots and other parts of plants. The herbs are supplied from reputable suppliers approved by the RCHM (Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine) and the IRCMH (The Irish Register of Chinese Medical Herbalism).

I do not prescribe or use any rare or endangered species.

The herbal medicine prescribed for you is specifically for your condition at the time of consultation. Should your condition change, contact me and we can discuss these changes, as your medicine may need to be modified or reformulated. Your treatment progress should be reviewed  at least once every four weeks.

Preparation of the herbs:

I personally make and prepare all the creams, oils and washes to ensure the purity of the formulation. I do not use or prescribe steroid creams.

Possible side effects:

Side effects rarely happen as a result of taking Chinese Herbal Medicine. However If you develop a rash, itch headache, nausea or a stomach upset while taking a formula, stop using it immediately and contact me at 086 1593170.

Are Herbs safe?

Chinese herbs are very safe when prescribed correctly by a properly trained practitioner. Over the centuries doctors have compiled detailed information about the herbs and placed great emphasis on the protection of the patient.

Adverse reactions can occur with any form of medicine, in the case of Chinese herbal medicine these are rare.
