All plant-based treatment products are classed as unapproved, section 29 medications in New Zealand. This means they can be legally prescribed by a registered doctor for a patient, however, they have not been formally approved or recommended for any condition (except multiple sclerosis and specific seizure disorders). As evidence for their use in different conditions evolves, we hope to see them approved for more conditions and their use more widespread.

Many patients report significant improvements in symptoms such as chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, inflammation, and stress when using plant-based treatment. While it’s not a “cure-all,” clinical studies and patient outcomes continue to show promising results. Plant-based treatment may be used alone or alongside other treatments, depending on your needs. As with any treatment, effectiveness varies person to person. Booking a consultation with a doctor trained in plant-based treatments is the best way to determine if it could work for you.

During your consultation, one of our experienced doctors will take the time to understand your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. You’ll discuss your current treatments, medical conditions, and any past experiences with medications. The doctor will explain how plant-based treatments work, assess whether they’re suitable for your needs, and answer all your questions. If appropriate, they’ll provide a personalised treatment plan and prescription.

You’ll also receive follow-up guidance and have access to our nursing team for ongoing support. Book your consultation now.

Plant-based treatment costs vary depending on the type of product prescribed, the dosage, and how often you use it. Most patients can expect to spend between $3–$7 per day, although this can differ based on individual needs.

Your initial consultation with a Canna Clinic doctor costs $79 for an online video or in person. After that, ongoing follow-up re-scripts are just $39 for a 10-minute check-in every three months (or as needed for prescription renewals).

Because everyone’s treatment plan is different, the best way to get a personalised cost estimate is to book a free nurse eligibility call, where we’ll help you understand what treatment might involve and what costs to expect. Book your appointment now.
