Complimentary appointments are no longer provided. No form is required for Product Recommendations & Guidance, Ayurvedic Diet Guidelines, or regular follow-up appointments.

Payment is required before your appointment. After you book, we will email you an invoice and appointment reminders.

No form is required for Product Recommendations & Guidance, Ayurvedic Diet Guidelines, Standard Follow-Up Appointment, or Short Follow-Up Appointment.

Clients returning after two years or longer must schedule a new Complete Initial Health Consultation before receiving follow-up services.

Because this is treated as a new complete assessment, you must submit the Complete Health Assessment Form before your appointment.

If your progress in all areas of your health is continuing to improve, that’s excellent — please continue reordering your herbs.

You can reorder most products online here: https://herbmanteas.shop

However, if your results are not improving, or you feel like progress has stalled since our last appointment, it is usually better to schedule a follow-up rather than guessing or trying to adjust things on your own. Sometimes I need to change the plan or modify the herbs to keep your progress moving forward.

Most products (but not all) are available for online reordering here: https://herbmanteas.shop

Custom formulas and some specialty or imported products are not listed online. For those items, please call the office or text 888-611-0878 so we can help you place your order.

Khabir’s Health Consulting does not manufacture, sell, or distribute herbal products.

All products referenced during consultations are sold separately by Khabir’s Herbal Products, LLC. Product invoicing, payments, and fulfillment are handled by that company, while consulting services are handled by Khabir’s Health Consulting, LLC.

Khabir’s primary foundation is Ayurvedic herbalism. His work is guided by Ayurvedic principles, even when incorporating Western, Chinese, or other traditional herbs.

He has studied Western herbalism since childhood, which is reflected in his extensive line of herbal teas—some originally developed over 40 years ago and many refined over the past 10–15 years. Most of his formulas are rooted in traditional Ayurvedic preparations, classical formulas, or lineage-based teachings, with only a small portion created outside those frameworks.

Khabir’s strength as a formulator comes from a deep grounding in Ayurveda, supported by long-standing knowledge of North American and European herbs, and selective use of herbs from other traditions when appropriate.

Khabir’s Health Consulting provides educational and advisory services, including:

• Traditional Ayurvedic and herbal guidance
• Nutritional and lifestyle recommendations
• Instruction in historical and traditional natural-health practices

All services are consultative and educational in nature.
