Do you do Home Visits?
Yes! If you are unable to get to the Practice for your consultation, Luzia is happy to come to see you.
That said, anywhere further than Dorset/Somerset/Hampshire/Wiltshire would be unrealistic. Give her a call or fill in a contact form to check.
Alternatively, you could have a telephone consultation, but Luzia is unlikely to prescribe any complicated medicines without first seeing you. She may however be able to recommend a herbalist in your area.
How can I maximise the benefits of the herbs?
A cleansing diet helps the herbs or tinctures to work better in many cases.
Eat more fruit and non-starchy vegetables, and eat less meat and dairy foods.
Drink plenty of water and herbal teas.
try to exercise every day.
Internal organs can hold a lot of toxins, activity helps the organs to cleanse, it brings balance and relieves stress.
Exercise improves lymphatic circulation and increases fluid circulation in the muscles and joints, as well as strengthening heart and lungs.
