Community Herbal Clinic
Online Low Cost Herbal Clinic Services & Herbal Remedies
Our Virtual Student-Run Low Cost/No Cost Herbal Clinic is a professional medical clinic run by our recent graduates with over 600 hours of instruction. Supervised support is provided by Cheryl Fromholzer, the Founder of Gathering Thyme as well as Rylan Sian. Rylan brings a breadth of knowledge from many years of running clinics, teaching herbalism, working in healthcare management and advocacy, and a lifetime as a queer community organizer. He’s also the owner of North Wind Apothecary in San Francisco, where he is a strong advocate of local biomes and ancestral remedies, sustainability and de-colonization, as well as progressive medical advancement.(Note: Rylan's role is to supervise our clinicians and will not be taking an active role during your appointment).
What to Expect: Plan to spend 1.5 hours in session (virtually) where our student clinicians will review your health history in addition to your mental, emotional and physical health concerns in a safe and caring environment. After careful consideration, and review by our clinic supervisor, you will receive a Wellness Plan along with a 30-minute follow up session to keep you firmly on the path to wellness. Follow-up visits are recommended and scheduled 4 weeks after the initial consultation and then monthly until resolution has been reached or we agree to a different schedule.
Clinic services are sliding scale with no one turned away due to lack of funds.
- Initial Consultations range in price from $50 (Patron), $25 (Standard) and $0 (Outreach).
- 30-minute Follow-Up Sessions are $25 (Patron), $12.50 (Standard) and $0 (Outreach).
- Patron-level pricing allows us to offer free services to those in need.
Recommended herbal remedies are at an additional cost (between $20-$45 per month) and are available for pick up at Gathering Thyme or mailed to you.
Clinic is fully virtual and meets on Mondays from 11-4pm. We are available to see clients anywhere in the United States. You will be emailed a Google Meet link prior to your scheduled appointment.
