HERBALISM

At Vitalitas, herbs are provided to clients in various forms depending on the specific treatment and individual preferences.

Common methods include:

• Herbal Teas or Decoctions: Fresh or dried herbs are boiled in water to create a potent tea that is consumed daily.
  
• Powders or Granules: Herbs are ground into fine powders or granules, which can be dissolved in hot water or taken with food.
  
• Capsules or Pills: Pre-prepared herbal formulas are provided in easy-to-swallow capsule or pill form for convenience.
  
• Topical Applications: Some herbs are made into creams, balms, or poultices for direct application to the skin to treat localized conditions.
  

Our practitioners carefully customise herbal prescriptions for each client to address their specific health concerns and goals.

The duration of herbal treatment depends on the individual’s condition, health goals, and how their body responds to the herbs.

For acute conditions, herbs may be taken for a few days to a few weeks. Chronic or long-term conditions typically require longer treatment, often lasting several weeks to a few months.

Your practitioner will regularly evaluate your progress and adjust the herbal formula as needed to ensure optimal results. It's important to follow the recommended treatment plan for the best outcome.

Yes, herbalism is generally considered safe when practised by a qualified herbalist / Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, like our team at Vitalitas.

Traditional Chinese Herbalism uses natural plant-based remedies with a long history of use. However, safety depends on proper diagnosis, the correct selection of herbs, and appropriate dosages tailored to each individual's needs.

At Vitalitas, our experienced practitioners carefully assess each client's health condition and prescribe herbal treatments that are safe and effective. We also monitor for potential interactions with medications or other treatments and adjust the herbal plan accordingly to ensure safety.
