120: Creating Custom Herbal Blends with Berris Burgoyne
Naturopathic doctor & medical herbalist, Berris Burgoyne, jokes in this podcast that perhaps she was a witch in a past life – and in the spirit of the upcoming holiday, we’ve made a podcast to help YOU brew up your OWN clinical potions! ✨🍵
Berris has been a successful naturopathic doctor in Brisbane, Australia for more than 3 decades, and she credits much of her early (& continued) clinical success to her knowledge of custom herbal blends.
Berris believes that offering custom blends set her apart from other health practitioners and made her practice “sticky.”
Wondering what the heck a “sticky practice” is??
We cover that!
Plus, how to address the most common patient complaints with herbal blends and the advantages of making your own in-house.
And if you’re worried about dosing – don’t despair! Berris goes over easy “1-2-3 blends” and offers some important points of caution you don’t want to miss.
Get ready to be enchanted, friends!
Dare we say this episode is spellbinding?! 😏
