What is a Herbal Medicine Consultation?
Do you want to address the root cause of a condition you suffer from? Or improve the functions of the your body in daily life?
A Herbal Consultation allows you the time to address your health issues with your medical herbalist by looking for the root cause(s) of disease. Unlike a standard GP appointment, the initial consultation with a medical herbalist can take up to 1 hour and a half with follow-ups lasting up to 1 hour. During your consultation, you will be offered herbal medicines as capsules, liquid extracts or infusions as well as adjunct lifestyle advice to help you improve your own health.
About Luke Ó hErodáin Dip. Herb
Medical Herbalist | Naturopathic Practitionner |
Foraging Instructor | Independent Researcher
Hi, I’m Luke Ó hErodáin, a clinically trained Medical Herbalist and foraging instructor based in Ireland. I support people on their path to better health through personalised herbal care, functional testing, and nature-based experiences.
Raised in rural France by an Irish family, my connection to nature began young. After burning out in a 9-to-5 career, it was herbal medicine and time outdoors that helped me reclaim my health. After years of studies and training, I now share my knowledge through my clinic, walks, and workshops.
My Approach
I blend traditional plant wisdom with modern clinical practice, using nature as the foundation for healing. My work is rooted in honesty, accessibility, and the belief that health starts with understanding—not overwhelm.
My Process
Each client begins with a initial consultation, followed by a personalised herbal plan, lifestyle advice, return consultations and, if needed, functional testing. I walk with you at your pace. this is about long-term support, not quick fixes.
Unique Framework
My framework brings together herbal medicine, diagnostic tools, lived experience, and reconnection with nature. Whether in the clinic or out on the land, it’s a whole-body, whole-life approach to health.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect in my first herbal medicine consultation?
The initial consultation can last up to 90 minutes where we go through your medical history, your presenting complaints and current lifestyle. You will be given adjunct advice, herbal remedies and any other suitable measures to help you towards improving your health.
As a patient in the clinic, you will then be able to book return consultations (30 to 45 minutes) for continued support.
You can bring any information such as medical files, blood tests or scans as part of the initial assessment. You will have the option to order functional testing.
How long does it usually take to see improvements with herbal medicine?
Unlike conventional drugs (biomedicine), herbal remedies are not "heroic", meaning that they don't act aggressively on the body. In other words, they act to support bodily functions and gently nudge them back into balance along with lifestyle adjustments.
While some herbs I use are "heroic" (for pain relief, sleep, cardiovascular health), you will be primarily using tinctures or herbal teas (infusions) as a means to support your health. These can often take several weeks to months before big changes can happen depending on how deeply rooted your health problem is.
What conditions can herbal medicine help with?
Herbal Medicine can help with many different health issues, in particular chronic conditions (skin / autoimmune / hormonal).
Other areas I focus on are:
- Cardiovascular Disorders
- Digestive disorders
- Men’s Health
- Women's Hormonal Health
- Respiratory Disorders
- Functional Testing / Laboratory Analysis
- Allergies, Stress and general or Post-viral fatigue
- And more
Do you offer home visits for herbal consultations?
I can do home visits around County Cork, Lismore, Tralee and Killarney. I can go further afield, though mileage applies if it is not a location I regularly visit. Feel free to contact me and remember to send me the address you would like me to go to.
Can herbal medicine be used alongside conventional medication?
Yes. Medical Herbalists are trained to a standard that allows them to know plant-drug interactions.
Many herbal medicines are actually helpful as adjuncts in many cases (such as avoiding drug-resistance, reducing side-effects), though some herbs such as St. John's Wort can affect how drugs are metabolised.
I will carefully assess the safety of using particular herbs alongside any conventional medication that is taken. It is therefore important to follow any instructions carefully.
I can work with your health team and email or coordinate with your consultant on your health plan. Conventional doctors are not insured or trained in herbal medicine or advanced nutrition, therefore, consulting with a Medical Herbalist is important before making a decision to take or not to take herbal medicines.
Can I order herbal medicines from you without a consultation?
It depends on what you are looking for!
If you want a herbal tea blend, or any particular dried herbs, I am more than happy to help you if you contact me.
However, to buy herbal tinctures from me you must have done an initial consultation. The reason for this is because I need to know your medical history, health condition and medications before I can formulate an adequate herbal medicine for you.
After this, we can do repeat prescriptions.
