Chinese Herbs
Chinese herbs are often used in conjunction with acupuncture for added therapeutic effect. While many cultures have herbal medicine traditions, the sophistication of Chinese herbal medicine is unsurpassed. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history reaching back several thousand years, and the resulting system is now used to treat everything from the common cold to symptoms associated with cancer.
Together we can tailor a course of treatment
to meet your unique health needs.
There are thousands of herbs in the Chinese materia medica, of which about 300 are commonly used in modern clinical practice. You will usually receive a combination of several different herbs in a formula that is carefully tailored to your individual presentation. Chinese herbal medicine is generally well‑tolerated when prescribed by a qualified practitioner, though, like any form of treatment, mild and temporary reactions may occasionally occur. It’s important that you let me know about all medications and supplements you’re currently taking so we can ensure your formula is both safe and effective for you.
