"How
long does
treatment
last?"
This depends
on how
quickly
you respond
to the
medicines
and how

have been
ill. Everyone

but the
healing
response
in a chronic
condition
will take
longer
than an
acute
one.

"Can
I use
herbs
alongside
orthodox
medicines?"
The simple
answer
is 'yes'
but it
does depend
on what

products
when I
take your
case history.

care professionals.
