What to Expect

Our practitioners care very deeply about their patients. At New Zealand Herbals you are never treated like a number and your dignity and respect are upheld at all times. You can expect only the best quality of care from us - we truly care about you and your health.

If you have never been to our clinic before then a typical consultation goes as follows:

1. We get you to fill out some paper work. This gives us your general details as well as why you are here. Often we will get you to fill out a questionnaire to help stimulate your memory.
2. Your practitioner will then introduce themselves. At this stage his or her primary goal is to find out what you hope to achieve, what is troubling you, and what your ultimate goals are.
3. Your practitioner will then conduct an iris examination. By doing this we get a better idea of where your body stands (what are its points of weakness).
4. Other tests may also be conducted. This will depend upon your situation. If appropriate we may refer you to another clinic for further tests.
5. Your practitioner will then go into detail about your condition. They may prescribe certain herbal formulas, homeopathic remedies or conduct body work (manipulation of the body). At all times your privacy and dignity is respected.
6. At this stage your practitioner will create an individual program that they will want you to follow. Often this involves changes in diet, exercise and the prescription of herbal remedies. If you have any questions about your program then don't hesitate to ask.

Typically the first consultation takes approximately forty-five minutes. Any follow-up consultations are usually conducted to analyse monitor your progress and, if necessary, modify your individual program.
