Here again, the answer depends on the condition treated and individual needs.  Typically a new client will return for a follow-up between 2 and 4 weeks after the initial consultation to check on how the treatment strategy is working.  Any tweaks or course changes can be made at this time.  After that, depending on whether the goals are short-term or long-term, a client may come back after a couple more weeks, or a couple of months if the herbs and diet/lifestyle strategies are going well.  Sometimes, a client decides to keep a regular schedule with me so as to get the continued coaching and accountability of meeting regularly.  This is entirely up to the individual. Note that the self-care nature of herbalism empowers you to care for yourself and better understand and care for your body. Once your herbal formula and self-care is established, in general the number of office visits will become less frequent.
