Your Bespoke
Herbal Care
An individual approach to herbal formulation
Each formula is prepared according to your individual presentation and will be adjusted over time.
How bespoke herbal care works
Chinese Herbal Medicine uses carefully combined natural herbs to support the body’s natural balance and regulation.
Each herbal combination is created according to your individual presentation, which means no two formulas are ever the same.
At Chemin Holistique, every herbal formula is bespoke.
I take time to understand your health history, lifestyle, and current situation, then prepare a formula that reflects your unique pattern.
As your body and circumstances change, your herbal care will be gently adjusted over time.
What is Chinese
Herbal Medicine?
A long-established tradition that takes a whole-person approach to care
Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) is a long-established tradition that remains part of everyday healthcare in China.
It is often used alongside Western medicine within an integrated approach to wellbeing.
At its core, CHM uses carefully selected herbs in combination to support internal balance and resilience, and continues to be explored within modern healthcare.
What makes this approach distinctive is its whole-person perspective.
How assessment may take place
Rather than focusing only on isolated symptoms, Chinese medicine considers lifestyle, diet, emotional health, work, environment, and daily habits.
Assessment is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and may include:
-
detailed discussion
-
pulse reading
-
observation of the tongue
Chinese Herbal Medicine is a complementary, non-medical approach and does not replace conventional medical care.

When Herbal Medicine
May Be Helpful
Many people choose Chinese Herbal Medicine as a personalised way to support their wellbeing. It may be used to help:
Support digestion and maintain energy
Strengthen general resilience and vitality
Encourage more restful sleep
Support seasonal transitions
Support emotional balance during periods of stress
Support recovery after illness
Ease mild women’s health transitions(such as menstrual or menopausal changes)
Complement acupuncture or Shiatsu
What to Expect
Changes are often gradual and unfold over days or weeks.
The intention is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to support the body’s internal balance over time.
As your system adjusts, you may notice subtle shifts in digestion, energy, or sleep.
Adjustments to your herbal formula are a normal part of personalised care.

Your Role in Safe Care
Safe herbal care depends on clear communication. I ask that you share all relevant health information, including pregnancy or breastfeeding, medications, supplements, and any changes during care.
If I feel that medical assessment would be appropriate, I may suggest contacting your GP or another healthcare professional.
Herbal Remedies & Quality
Quality and safety are essential in herbal care.
All herbal formulas at Chemin Holistique use professional-grade herbs sourced from trusted suppliers who meet recognised European and international safety standards.
How your herbs are prepared
Powders and granules
Easy to dissolve in hot water
Capsules or pills
A convenient option if you prefer not to taste the herbs
Please note: I do not currently provide raw herbs that require boiling.
Where Your Herbs Come From
(Europe)
Based in Switzerland, working with trained practitioners and operating under strict quality and safety controls.
(UK)
Supplies granulated herbal products produced by established manufacturers. Products are traceable and handled in line with recognised quality standards.
Sourcing & Safety
Herbal combinations are prepared with careful consideration of any medications or supplements you are using.
To reduce the risk of interaction, herbs are usually taken at least 2 to 3 hours apart from medication, unless advised otherwise.
Herbs are supplied by trusted professional dispensaries in Europe and the UK, ensuring quality, traceability, and safe handling.
When to Pause or Stop Your Herbs
Please pause your herbs and contact me if you:
-
Develop an acute illness (such as fever, vomiting, or diarrhoea)
-
Experience signs of an allergic-type reaction
-
Become pregnant or begin breastfeeding
Mild, short-lived responses — such as slight digestive changes or temporary tiredness — can sometimes occur as the body adjusts.
If symptoms feel strong, unusual, or concerning, please seek medical care promptly.
Payment & Transparency
Consultation fees and herbal formulas are billed separately.
The consultation fee is paid directly to Chemin Holistique and includes your consultation, assessment, and the preparation of your personalised herbal formula.
Herbal formulas are paid directly to the supplier. As a guide, a 4-week formula usually costs around €65–€80 plus postage for clients in Europe, or £30–£45 plus postage for clients in the UK.
The final cost may vary depending on the formula, dosage, supplier pricing, packaging, and delivery location.
Language Availability
Chinese herbal medicine consultations are currently available in English and Japanese only.
Due to the complexity and personalised nature of herbal care, consultations are offered in languages in which clear communication can be ensured.
Consultations in French will be introduced once my professional French level is sufficient to support safe and accurate care.
Take the Next Step
Your herbal can begin with a first conversation or an initial session.
If you are new to Chemin Holistique, please book an initial consultation first. This allows enough time to understand your needs, health background, and the best starting point for your care.
