Am I eligible for alternative medicine?
You may be eligible if you tried conventional medication to treat a particular chronic medical condition and it failed to alleviate your symptoms or it caused side effects.
Alternative medicine does not have to be a last resort. It just can’t be the first line of treatment.
Once eligible, speak with one of our Doctors or Nurse Practitioners who consider natural medicine as a possible treatment alternative. All done via telehealth from the comfort of your home.

If treatment is prescribed, a registered Australian pharmacy will process your prescription and send your medication to you via free express postage. Repeat scripts are delivered automatically. On time, every time.
