FEES INDICATED BELOW ARE FOR YOUR GUIDANCE ONLY
It is not possible to give a precise figure because each patient is uniquely prescribed
and may require differing quantities of treatment and medication. However, on
average the charge for liquid medicine only, individually prescribed and
personally dispensed, would be in the region of £11.00 to £17.00 PER WEEK (4
weeks treatment is usually prescribed). Any additional medication necessary
(tablets, capsules, lotions, ointments etc.) would incur an extra charge
accordingly.
At Hydes we source herbs from worldwide in
order to obtain the best quality and ensure supply in any season. We negotiate for the best price only when
quality is assured by competing suppliers. We never reduce quality to achieve cost savings. Sometimes the supply
and cost is effected by the buying power of large pharmaceutical companies who are increasingly using herbs.
The high expense of herbs, reflects the problems of growing, harvesting, drying and shipping the raw herb to us.
It also reflects the considerable overheads involved in processing and maintaining adequate stocks of prepared tincture.
Unlike many herbalists we manufacture our own medicines to ensure a consistant quality and strength. The medicines we
dispense are therefore of high quality and valuable.
