Herbal Medicine

Everyone has a unique constitution, a unique health history, a unique health goal and herbal medicine can account for each individual’s particularity.Chinese herbal medicine utilizes thousands of medical substances, which consist largely of plant parts such as leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine go hand in hand. Just as acupuncture is used to balance and restore, so does Chinese herbal medicine. However, adding herbs to your acupuncture treatment helps to extend your treatment’s benefits throughout the week. This helps to speed recovery and resolve symptoms faster than with acupuncture alone. These two work synergistically—each enhances the other’s positive effects on your symptoms.

Chinese herbal therapy can come in the form of:

  • Granules or easy-to-digest capsules.
  • Teas, liquid extracts and powders.
  • A traditional formula with raw herbs.
  • A custom formula that your herbalist creates for you.
