Length of Treatment: a course of treatment usually lasts between 6 and 12 weeks. The practitioner will always seek to reduce the cost of medicines in cases of financial hardship.

Patients can be confident that herbal medicines dispensed are made using the best quality ingredients available, produced by reputable manufacturers to the highest standards and subject to proper quality controls. Wherever possible, plant materials are grown organically, and sourced sustainably. Medical herbalists often use concentrated plant extracts where a very small amount of alcohol is used to help extract and preserve the active ingredients of the plant. For patients who are unable to take medicines containing alcohol for any reason there are many alternatives available.

The herbs provided by Heartwood are sourced from reputable manufactures who maintain consistent quality standards, and may be provided in a number of forms, including  teas, tinctures, capsules, powders, tablets, glycerites, lotions, creams and pessaries.
