Contact — Elena Cajka, naturopath TEN, Zürich-Witikon and online

Phytotherapy is healing with plants, with tinctures, teas, essential oils and individual blends. I use it very concretely for the concern that brings you to me. Gently, step by step, and tailored to your child.

Yes, most Swiss supplementary insurances cover my consultations. I am EMR-registered (the Swiss register for complementary medicine), which is what the insurers check. Please ask your supplementary insurance which methods they cover.

That depends entirely on the concern. Acute things often need only one or two sessions. Long-standing ones need more time and patience. We talk it through in the introductory call and I give you a realistic picture before we begin.

Children's herbal medicine is one of my main areas. I support families with colds, skin issues, sleep problems, concentration and sensitive diagnoses. Plants work gently on children and can be used in a way that suits their age.

I offer consultations in five languages: German, English, French, Italian and Greek. This helps especially with families where one parent feels more at home in another language, or with parents who come to me online from abroad.

My practice is at Luegete 12 in 8053 Zürich-Witikon. Easy to reach by public transport, and there is parking nearby. For many families online consultation is a good alternative too, especially when the journey is long.

Yes, gladly. Online consultation works via Zoom, WhatsApp or Skype, whatever is easy for you. Many families come to me wherever they are, from other cantons, from abroad, or simply because daily life leaves little time.

No. Herbal medicine does not replace conventional medicine and does not want to. It supports it. With serious or acute diagnoses, medical care comes first. Medicinal plants can then accompany it well, support the immune system or ease side effects.

Yes, this is one of my heart areas. I know the daily life of affected families very well. Important: I always work alongside medical care, never as a replacement. Plants can gently support concentration, sleep or digestion.

The easiest way is by WhatsApp or phone at +41 79 455 28 35. The introductory call takes 15 minutes, is free and without obligation. We see whether my way fits your child's needs. So you decide calmly, before committing to anything.
