Diet and Lifestyle Advice

All Herbs are Extra. Herbs are sent internationally at the patients expense. To save on cost of International postage, 2–3 months of Herbs will usually be prescribed. At the moment raw herbs for use in herbal Tea are only available in Australia. Powder and Pills can be sent Internationally.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In most cases, Herbs sent Internationally for personal use pose no problem with Customs. However, Adam will not be held responsible for Herbs seized by Customs in your country and will not refund cost of Herbs or Postage. It is your responsibility to ensure Herbs can be sent to you. However, as stated, this has not posed a problem until now.
