HERBAL THERAPY

Like acupuncture, the properties and effects of Chinese herbs have been studied and used for thousands of years.  And like acupuncture, herbs are used to treat a variety of illnesses by clearing blockage and strengthening the body to bring it back to balance.  By bringing balance back, the body is correctly set to automatically heal itself.  Herbs are a great adjunctive treatment to acupuncture for additional therapeutic effect, and to continue the healing effects of acupuncture in between sessions.  Herbs are administered in different forms: raw herbs to be decocted into teas, granules to make instant herbal teas, pills, and tinctures.  After a thorough intake and assessment, your practitioner will customize the optimal herbal formula (combination of herbs) for your individual condition, using only the purest and highest quality herbs.  Please inform your practitioner of any medications (pharmaceutical or recreational) and supplements that you're taking so that we can avoid any unwanted interactions with your herbal formula.
