Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbology has always been a key modality of Chinese Medicine. As practitioners of this ancient system, our goal is to treat root causes rather than symptoms. Herbs help replenish what’s missing and to fix what might be off-balance. For many, Chinese herbs are a key to sustaining their wellness lifestyle.
 
Thousands of medicinal substances such as various parts of plants, as well as minerals and animal products, are used in Chinese herbology. Formulations can be taken as pills, capsules, concentrated powders, or in liquid form. Because conditions change, patients rarely stay on just one formula for an extended period of time. Evaluation and creative customization is an ongoing feature of treatment.
 
We exercise prudent caution when recommending herbs, especially if you’re already taking prescribed and over-the-counter medications. We purchase from reputable companies with rigorous protocols for sourcing the herbs they use in their formulations. You can be assured that we will prescribe a formula just right for you and monitor your progress.
