Herbal Consult

An herbal consult will begin with a detailed intake including medical history, current medical concerns, medical diagnosis for your ailment, current medications, and your daily diet and lifestyle.

Joy will then work within the Western Herbal Medicine system to determine how the states of damp, dry, hot and cold are affecting your body. She does not make any medical diagnoses, but rather looks for imbalances that correspond to a Tissue State.

After a tissue state has been identified she will recommend herbs to bring the body back into balance. These herbs will come in the form of a tea, tincture, spray or salve. You will be given directions on how much to take and how often. Joy will then monitor how the herbs are working for you and make adjustments if necessary.
