Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is a significant part of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been practiced for over 2 millennia.  It recognizes that one symptom can have many different origins.  Our herbalists will create and dispense a personalized formula to treat the root causes of your condition.

All of our custom herbal formulas are blended in-house with the highest quality, most easily absorbable granulated herbs.

Herbal Consultations

Our herbalists will conduct a detailed intake and history in order to:

  • Determine the etiology of the disease

  • Determine whether the condition is acute or chronic, whether you are in excess or deficient in certain herbs, and whether it affects the superficial or deep layers of the body

  • Account for hereditary factors to see where your natural deficiencies lie, taking into account your constitution and lifestyle

The herbalist will briefly examine your tongue, pulse, and abdomen for an objective picture of your condition.

Supplementing Acupuncture with Herbal Medicine

Herbs are absorbed into the digestive tract and distributed through the bloodstream. They are especially effective in tandem with acupuncture; these treatments both work to create local and systemic changes in the body.
