In person:
A consultation is between 45 and 75 minutes of time together sipping tea and discussing whatever health concerns you or your child has. Herbal preparations are specifically formulated to you and your youngster. In formulating an herbal protocol, Mischa considers medical history, lab tests (if available), family history, diet, sleep, energy, and lifestyle and makes use of traditional diagnostic techniques: tongue, pulse, and facial diagnosis, when choosing which herbs are appropriate. Mischa is also aware of the quality of the herbal products she recommends, possible herb-drug interactions and safety issues in pregnancy and lactation and with little ones, and sustainable methods of harvesting the plants.
By phone:
If you live far from Cambridge, Massachusetts, a phone consultation is possible or Mischa can refer you to an herbalist in your area. Please contact Mischa for more information about consultations and fees.
Sample questions to expect during the consultation:
- How is your digestion?
- When was the last time you took antibiotics?
- Are you taking any medications?
- Are you allergic to anything that you know of?
- How is your sleep?
- How
do you feel upon waking?
- Are you planning to become pregnant in the next year?
