  Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine, like acupuncture, is part of the complete medical system known as Chinese Medicine. Chinese herbal medicine uses roots, bark, flowers, seeds, fruits, leaves, branches, minerals and some animal products for medicinal purposes. It is used to address a full range of internal medical issues, especially gynecological, respiratory, urinary, digestive, psychological and neurological disorders, as well as to relieve pain, speed healing and strengthen the immune system. Unlike pharmaceuticals, Chinese herbal medicine’s strength is in its ability to treat the root of disorders with little to no side-effects.


Time-Tested Natural Solutions

Chinese herbal medicine is unique in that it has been actively used and developed for over 3,000 years and it details how herbs are combined. Combining herbs enhances their effectiveness and eliminates side-effects. Chinese herbal medicine is almost always administered as a combination of herbs which creates a complex and customized formula for each patient. The Chinese herbal practitioner knows the details of over 300 herbs including what channels and organs the herbs affect and how the herbs are best combined.


Convenient Herbal Extracts

Our practitioners usually administer herbal medicine in the form of concentrated granules. The raw herbs are processed into a granular form that does not require additional cooking and are 5 times more concentrated. The granules readily dissolve in warm water. Granules are similar in effectiveness to raw herbs, but are better tasting and more convenient to prepare.
