HERBAL MEDICINE
Chinese herbal medicine is an integral part of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
Medicinal herbs are combined to create individually customized formulas that address a wide range of conditions and diseases.
​
Each herb has unique properties and medicinal functions and when used in a formula works synergistically to maximize the therapeutic effects.
​
Formulas are used to strengthen and nourish the body, unblock stagnation, and address other imbalances that cause disease. Herbal medicine also helps to regulate the body between acupuncture treatments.
​
Chinese Herbal Medicine comes in many different forms: Teas, Concentrated Herbal Powders, Pills, Tablets, Tinctures or Raw Herbs that need to be decocted.
​
Herbal medicine encompasses everything from roots, leaves and vines to minerals, mushrooms, seashells and fruits. Please let us know if you have any allergies, are vegetarian or vegan.
