Herbal products can affect the body and may interact with conventional medicines. GP or pharmacist input may be advised where appropriate.

Clear Boundaries

How Consultations Work

If a Chinese herbal medicine consultation is suitable, Minan explains the Traditional Chinese Medicine reasoning, the proposed format, expected practicalities and any relevant cautions.

You should not stop or change prescribed medication unless advised by the clinician responsible for that medication. If symptoms are severe, persistent, unexplained or require diagnosis, you should seek GP, NHS 111, urgent care or emergency advice as appropriate.
