Your prescription is prepared as pharmaceutical-grade granule powder from Sun Ten. Each herb in your formula is extracted and granulated separately, then combined in the precise proportions of your bespoke prescription. A written instruction sheet is included with every prescription — always follow that if it differs from the general guidance below.
How to prepare and drink them
Dissolve your daily dose in approximately 150–200ml of hot water, stir until the granules have dissolved, and drink it as a tea. Take it once or twice daily, as instructed on your prescription. If you find the taste difficult, a small amount of honey can be added.
When to take them
Take your herbs at least one hour after food, unless I have advised otherwise. If you are taking them twice a day, space the doses out — typically one in the morning and one in the evening.
If you would prefer capsules
If you do not get on with the taste, your granules can instead be supplied in capsules or tablets for a small additional cost. Just let me know and I can arrange this with your next order.
Storing your herbs
Keep the container sealed and store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Keep your herbs out of the reach of children.
If you miss a dose
If you forget a dose, take it when you remember, or simply skip it and continue with your next dose as normal. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Re-ordering
You can re-order the same prescription without a further consultation for a small admin fee. Herbs are posted to you — £35 per week within the UK and £45 per week within Europe. See the treatment prices page for full details.
Please let me know before taking your herbs if you become pregnant, start any new medication, or notice any reaction. If you feel unwell, stop taking the herbs and contact me. Chinese herbal medicine is used to support your wellbeing alongside, not in place of, advice from your doctor.
