Karl Bedson
The Derbyshire Community Herbalist (change in name coming - as I now have patients all over Britain)

Special Offer: if you recommend me to a friend or family member, when they book an initial consultation and mention you, they will receive a reduction to the initial consultation of 25% or more (Full priced down to £90, Reduced down to £50), after they have paid in full, you will receive 25% off your next return visit (Full priced down to £45, Reduced down to £30).

​

Adults (Full) (any fee issues, contact me)

First Consultation: £120 

(90+ minutes for the actual consultation, however, it also includes 30 mins before the consultation to review your medications and concerns via your completed pre-consultation form, and usually around 90 - 150 mins after the consultation, looking up any issues, drug interactions, tests, and developing your personalised medicine(s), based on as many treatment styles as possible (including biomedical, symptom control, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, physiomedicalm tissue states, blood stasis, etc) to help you on more than one level and finally the creation of your medicine (s)). 

As you can see my focus on YOU is not just 90 mins, but anywhere form 180 mins (3 hours) to 300 mins (5 hours), occasionally much longer.

​

Follow-up Consultations: £60 

(30+ minutes,  however, it also includes 30 mins before the consultation to review your notes, and usually around 30 - 90 mins after the consultation, looking up any issues, drug interactions, tests, and developing your personalised medicine(s), based on as many treatment styles as possible (including biomedical, symptom control, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, physiomedicalm tissue states, blood stasis, etc) to help you on more than one level and finally the creation of your medicine (s)). 

As you can see my focus on YOU is not just for 30 mins, but anywhere form 90 mins (1.5 hours) to 150 mins (2.5 hours), occasionally much longer.

​

Students and children (Reduced)

£70 initial and £40 follow-up.  (please see above for how long the consultation will last and how much work is involved).

​

Medication cost

Tinctures £10 per 100/105ml (normal weekly dose)

Teas £15 per 100g (if that's too much, it will be based upon how much is prescribed; however 100g lasts quite a while)

External products such as creams vary in cost. 

Also, £5 for P&P/ delivery.

 

Repeat prescriptions and delivery

If no changes to mix, then it will be the above medication cost plus £5 for P&P/ delivery.

For minor medication changes, then a £5 per changed item (i.e., per tincture, tea, etc), will be charged to reflect my time, for moderate changes (i.e., 3+ changes), then £10 per changed item, for a more involved change then a follow-up consultation will be required.
