Frequently Asked Questions

Q) What Kind of products do you prescribe?

A) Here at Darulshafa, all our products are purely herbal and contain simply  herbs. We ensure that all our products and remedies 
conform to the 1968  Medicines Act.


Q) Do you import prepared herbal remedies from Asia?

A) We take great pride in our products and to ensure a consistent standard of quality and efficacy, all our remedies have been manufactured by ourselves since we started our practice in 1967.

Q) How long does an average course of treatment last?

A) Most patients who attend our clinics tend to suffer from very long standing and chronic conditions. In our experience a  short course of remedies or treatment isn't sometimes sufficient for the patient to observe an immediate improvement. Hence, to ensure relief, an average course lasts around 3-4 weeks.

Q) What are the treatment costs?

A) The costs of any product is essentially dependant upon  the diagnosis of the practitioner. In most cases two or three different preparations may be used by the patient. We have a complete price list of our products and the patient is shown his exact charges prior to the dispensing of his remedies. Having said that, the average cost of our products is approximately £15-£20 per week.

Q) Are herbal remedies expensive?

A) It is our belief that there is NO substitute for quality. However, we endeavour, at all times, to ensure that the price of our products remains affordable for our patients. Please do remember that almost all herbs we use are imported from various countries. This means that we have to strive hard to maintain an exact standard of herbs imported but also face natural disasters, currency fluctuations and in some cases, devaluation. All these factors combined with the fact that all our products are manufactured here in the UK means that our overheads are far higher then those companies who illegally import defective remedies from abroad.

Q) Are there any side effects to the remedies you prescribe?

A) All our products are prepared ourselves and we do not use any herbs which are restricted or banned by the Department of Health in United Kingdom. We have strict quality control procedures in place which ensure that the standards of our products is excellent. All remedies are fully labelled and when used as directed, extremely safe to use.
