***WELCOME to The HERB BUS***

Earth-based care for underserved communities.

The Herbal i sta Free Cl i ni c, travelling by Herb Bus, provides free clinical care, a spot of
tea, and herbal education to underserved communities. Currently hubbed in the Atlanta
area, this mobile herb clinic offers both basic first aid treatment and long-term tonic
therapy, based on a constitutional and energetic approach. We treat the patient, not the
disease. The driver, Herbalista Lorna Mauney-Brodek, was raised Americana and
practices a blend of Western Herbalism, Chinese 5 Phase, Ayurveda, southern folk and
kitchen medicine in a clinical setting.

The Bus Servi ce Manual is a glimpse into how this clinic is currently organized and
serves as the training curriculum for volunteers. Establishing some basic protocols
provides us with a sense of stability and calm, vital touchstones when serving in the
delicate and often unpredictable sphere of health care. The following pages contain
information regarding how we set-up and service a station, how we stock and maintain
the apothecary, examples of forms we use to track patient care and inventory, and much
more. It is lovingly a work in progress, and as the Herb Bus meets more people and
plants, serving communities across this country, we evolve our practices and will update
this manual accordingly.

This project is the result of community effort and vision. Thanks to everyone who
supported us herbally, inspirationally, creatively, organizationally, economically,
mechanically, and all the rest! And with a special thanks to my Herb Bus Crew: Todd
Cain, Corinne Lee, and Amanda Robinson. VIVA LA HERB BUS!

Stati on Host / TeaMaster
Herbal i sta(s)/HerbMedi c(s)
Apotheker

Stati on Host / TeaMaster
Holds it down. The station host helps to build the bridge between clinic and station. It
is helpful if the station host lives or works at the station. They must have an intimate
understanding of the ecology of the station and the community to be served there.
They are responsible for securing physical amenities such as power hookup and restroom
access, as well as assuring the comfort of both patients and Herb Bus Crew. The station
host serves as reception, spreading the health with tea and peace, and keeps track of
patient appointments. Station hosts must be prepared to handle difficulties as they arise
in an efficient and compassionate way.

Herbal i sta(s) / HerbMedi c(s)
The Herbalista conducts intakes and makes health recommendations. They must have an
intimate knowledge of the herbs and other medicaments stocked in the Herb Bus. They
formulate remedies, respectful of the individual needs of the patients.

Apotheker(s)
The Apotheker is in charge of the dispensary which is located inside the bus. They set up
and break down the apotheke with each clinic. They are responsible for filling the scripts,
labeling and dispensing herbal remedies to patients, providing them with proper
instruction on the hows and whens of taking their remedies. The Apotheker also
handles refills. Record keeping is of utmost importance, following good labeling practices
and inventory maintenance. We usually have two apothekers working during clinic. The
Lead Apotheker sits at the tincture / oil / powder station. The Apotheker in training
writes labels, tracks items dispensed and mixes tea blend formulas.

There are different set-ups and timings involved depending on the
type of clinic being offered. The schedule above reflects a
standard stop at a regularly serviced station. Station set-up takes
a bit longer in inclement weather, but it averages around 20
minutes or so.

We have found that in the span of 4 hours we usually see between
6 to 10 patients, depending on the number of new patients (45
min each) versus follow-up visits (30 min each).

***SAFETY & SANI TATI ON***


ALWAYS CONSI DER BOTH THE PATI ENT AND PRACTI ONER

STANDARD GLOVE PRACTI CE (as requi red)
Change gloves between every patient.
Do not touch clean supplies with dirty gloves. Either change gloves before
handling supplies or touching common surfaces, ask someone with clean hands to
assist, or remove gloves and wash hands.
Wash hands after glove removal.

SAFE REMOVAL OF CONTAMI NATED GLOVE
Pinch one glove with your fingers from the outside.
Pull the glove off, turning the inside of the glove
outwards.
To avoid contamination of your environment, hold the
removed glove in your still gloved hand.
Slide your finger from your glove free hand under the
remaining glove.
Pull the glove outwards and towards your finger tips.
As you do this, the first glove will be encased in the
second glove. The inside of the second glove will also
be turned outwards.
Grab the gloves firmly, by the uncontaminated surface
(the inside of the glove that was originally touching
your hand).
Dispose of the gloves properly.

MASK / EYE PROTECTI ON (GOGGLES)
Wear as needed to protect lungs and eyes. Wipe goggles thoroughly with alcohol
swabs after use.

HAND WASH STATI ON
Thoroughly cleanse hands between patients or additionally as needed. Wash for at least
20 seconds (Happy Birthday song 2xs).

WASTE
Properly label and dispose of all waste. Dispose of blades in sharps container.

***CHOOSI NG A STATI ON***

While this might seem a minor point, it is the lynchpin for running a successful clinic,
especially when working on the peripheries. The station becomes the rock upon which
we can run a clinic, providing a sense of security both the crew and patients.

The advantage of a mobile clinic is that you can go to where the patients are. Select a
station that is already a lynchpin for the community you wish to servea community
center, a homeless shelter, a cooperative housing compound, etc.

Considerations:
Are there restroom facilities for practitioners and patients?
Is there a power outlet to plug in the bus?
Is there a large parking lot or open space to accommodate our set-up?
Is there a person who can serve as station host?

Station Respect:
Respect the systems already in place at each community station.
The community determines the patient list.
The community will have specific guidelines for access to restroom facilities that
must be respected.
The station host serves as the bridge between crew and station and has the
responsibility of bringing the crew up to speed on that particular communities
needs.

GENERATI NG THE PATI ENT LI ST
We have found it easiest to allow the station/community handle generating their own
patient list. We agree on a schedule (say 2pm-6pm) and then let them know how many
folks we can handle in that length of time.

***APOTHEKE***


Apotheke [German] Pharmacy
Apotheker [German] One who stores, compounds, and dispenses medicaments.

Why do we use these words throughout the Herb Bus Service Manual?
1. Apotheke is simply a lovely word.
2. The VW Herb Bus and her driver Lorna are both of German heritage. Volkswagen
means car of the people in German. Herbalista Lorna is the great-
granddaughter of Willi Victor Wiesenthal, a German apotheker from Stargart in
Pommern. Back in those days, they worked with herbs too! Its nice to carry on
a family tradition.
3. The word apothecary is regulated by the state of Georgia and has been
coopted by the pharmaceutical industry.

The apotheke is maintained inside a 1990 VW Westfalia Camper van. The electricity,
tables, counters, and kitchen allows us to prepare and compound remedies as required
for our patients. We make almost all of our remedies with the utmost care and respect,
utilizing organic or ethically wildcrafted herbs and other ingredients.

The Apotheker compounds, packages, and thoroughly labels all remedies according to
the script written by the HerbMedic. This script is stapled to the patient form and kept
in the file for future reference.

All herbs and remedies dispensed are entered on the Di spensary Form (see page 17)
to track inventory, to help us understand cost, and as reference to make sure we
always come as well stocked as possible when visiting different communities.

REFI LLS
The first time a patient returns for a follow-up, they must meet with the HerbMedic for
a review before a refill is dispensed. After that, if no follow-up is requested, the refill
request is logged in on the refill list, dispensed by Apotheker (with HerbMedic review as
necessary)

This is the form used by our apothekers to keep track of the remedies dispensed at a
particular clinic. This is extremely helpful in determining the cost of a clinic, and is
consulted when organizing the kits for a return visit, to make sure we have packed all
remedies needed for that particular community. The Wish List is where we jot notes for
items we wish we had on the bus, so we can bring them with us the next time.

These diagrams show the basic contents of our tincture kits.
The run bag (pictured at left) holds one ounce bottles and
serves mostly in first aid situations, as it is well padded and fits
in my backpack.

The two chests hold the remedies we typically work from on the
bus. One chest (on right) holds 64-2 oz simples and the other
(in middle) holds 20-4 oz simples and 5-2 oz. combinations. It
is important to keep track of the amounts dispensed of each
remedy so you can no which you need to have in a 4 ounce
bottle and which you may only need 2 ounces of.


*Most remedies are prepared in alcohol. If a remedy is non-alcoholic, we shade the box light green*
