# ☎️ Discovery Call with Vanaspati Herbal Medicine

> Thank you for taking the time to book a discovery call with me. I'd like to understand a little about your health what you've already tried, and what you're hoping to achieve. I'll explain how I work as a Medical Herbalist and whether I think herbal medicine could be appropriate for you. This isn't a consultation, so I won't be prescribing but by the end of the call you should have a good idea of whether we're the right fit. ~ Varsha Soneji, Medical Herbalist If you are unable to attend, please allow 48 hours notice.
