Frequently Asked Questions
Common inquiries about our herbal medicine approach, treatment process, and what to expect during your visit.
- What conditions do you treat at Plant Med Clinics?
- We focus on chronic disease management including metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes and fatty liver, autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, digestive issues like IBS and leaky gut, and stress-related illnesses including adrenal fatigue and anxiety. Each patient receives a comprehensive health assessment before any protocol begins.
- Are your herbal treatments standardized and safe?
- Yes, we use only standardized botanical extracts with verified active compound levels. Every herb is sourced from certified suppliers and tested for purity and potency. Our naturopathic physicians determine appropriate dosages based on your individual health profile, current medications, and lab results to ensure safety and avoid interactions.
- How long does a typical treatment plan last?
- Initial protocols are usually designed for 8 to 12 weeks, after which we reassess progress through follow-up consultations and repeat lab work. Some chronic conditions require longer support, while acute imbalances may resolve sooner. We adjust the regimen at each stage based on your response and evolving needs.
- Do you work alongside my primary care doctor?
- Absolutely. We encourage collaboration with your existing healthcare team. With your written consent, we share our assessment findings and treatment plan with your primary physician. Our approach is integrative, not替代 — we aim to complement conventional care with evidence-based botanical and nutritional support.
- What does the initial consultation involve?
- The first visit lasts about 90 minutes and includes a detailed health history review, dietary and lifestyle assessment, and discussion of your current symptoms and goals. We may recommend specific lab tests to identify underlying imbalances. Based on this information, your physician creates a personalized protocol combining medicinal herbs, nutritional supplements, and mind-body practices.
- Is therapeutic yoga included in the treatment?
- Yes, yoga integration is a core component of our programs. Depending on your condition, we may recommend specific asanas, pranayama techniques, or yoga nidra sessions. These practices are tailored to your physical abilities and health status, and we provide guided recordings and written instructions for home practice.
