Herbalist-RN Quick Questions Consult
Hundreds of questions a month come in either in person, emailed, text messaged, or voicemailed. I do my best for many and keep it concise but I do miss some and in stewarding well with the plants I must request more time for other questions to be addressed well. To be honest "brain picking' is something I gate-keep diligently in myself and that which comes from others. Just not a fan of it.
So what many think are 'quick questions' are often not so quick depending on the nature of the conditions. For example, 'What can my Dad take for advanced prostrate cancer?' when Dad and son have had no experience with herbal remedies and dad has advanced dementia as well. You can see the injustice of a short response. Herbalists genuinely want to support people who are not feeling well. In any school of medicine, there is time needed to evaluate the situation and formulate a supportive plan. There are also times when a fully integrative consult is just not necessary either. This service is for those who must connect and are seeking answers and support around a plant, a condition, or navigating the modern medical system with plants in hand.
If your situation requires more time I'll state this honestly. Many often know this as well. If your situation requires things beyond my skill, I will state this too and direct you as best I can.
Thank you for honoring our time together and for honoring the long history of herbal medicine plants walking along with us in assistance. I look forward to working with you, Jen
