Chinese Herbal Medicine,
Tailored to You
Chinese herbal medicine can be used on its own or alongside acupuncture when appropriate. Rather than prescribing based solely on a diagnosis or isolated symptom, we look at the larger pattern — your constitution, diet, symptoms, health history, lifestyle and the ways these pieces interact. All herbal formulas are recommended and formulated with your individual presentation in mind.
Chinese herbal medicine offers another way to support your health by addressing the broader pattern underlying your symptoms. Rather than focusing on a diagnosis or isolated complaint, treatment considers your constitution, symptoms, health history, diet, lifestyle and the ways these factors interact.
You may schedule an herbal consultation if you are seeking herbal medicine on its own. Herbal consultations are included as part of your treatment when scheduling an acupuncture session.
Granules
Concentrated herbal extracts that are mixed with water and taken as a tea. Granules offer a convenient alternative to preparing raw herbs while maintaining the flexibility of a customized formula.
Capsules
A convenient, easy-to-take option for those who prefer not to prepare or taste their herbs. Capsules can be a practical choice for incorporating herbal medicine into a busy routine.
Choose the Form That Fits You
Herbal formulas can be dispensed in several forms, allowing you to choose an approach that works best with your preferences and routine:
Raw Herbs
Traditional whole herbs that are prepared as a decoction, or herbal tea. Raw herbs offer the most traditional method of taking a customized Chinese herbal formula and allow for greater flexibility in how the formula is prepared.
Whether you are looking for herbal medicine on its own or would like to incorporate it into your acupuncture care, treatment begins with understanding the whole picture.
