Plants are powerful allies and Chinese Herbal Medicine is a uniquely sophisticated tool. Developed over centuries, it’s a complex system that usually employs formulations of several different herbs that work better together. An Herbal prescription requires the same thorough intake and diagnostics as an acupuncture treatment.
Herbs are the perfect compliment to acupuncture therapy. They work hand in hand, often increasing the effectiveness and rate of improvement, so that you get better and faster results.
They are available in many different forms, but I usually recommend pills or capsules because it’s easy and simple. However, if you prefer tinctures, granules, or raw herbs, that’s also an option.
It’s important to let me know of dietary restrictions, allergies, prescription medications and other supplements that you are taking to avoid unnecessary complications.
Because of environmental concerns, certain ingredients are not available. This includes animal products and endangered plant species.
A Chinese Herbal Medicine prescription is included with your acupuncture treatment or available as a separate service. The herbal formula itself is an additional cost.
