Chinese Herbal Therapy
Chinese herbal medicine is a unique and powerful tool that can be used on it's own or in combination with acupuncture to enhance the benefits of treatment. Chinese herbs treat the internal landscape of the body in a deeper way than acupuncture can alone, restoring optimal function in the body by addressing physiological imbalances. It is an ideal approach to acute conditions such as colds, flus, and physical injury, as well as chronic conditions including chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, gynecological disorders, digestive disorders, allergies, and more. Based on the fine art of formula science, a variety of herbs are used in combination in specific amounts to create a formulation with a specific unified function alchemically stronger than any individual herb alone. Herbal prescriptions are based on classical formulas dating back thousands of years which are then modified to address modern conditions and individual need.
Formulas may be prescribed in the form of bulk herbs, powdered teas or pills. Topical poultices may also be used for injuries and skin conditions. Many formulas are taken long term and require weekly or biweekly check ins to assess progress and make adjustments as needed. Chinese herbal formulas are available at additional cost and are always optional.
