What is Chinese Herbal Therapy
Chinese Herbal Therapy is one of the therapeutic pillars in Traditional Chinese Medicine. For thousands of years in China, herbs have been used to treat many acute and chronic conditions. Chinese herbs can help with re-establishing the body’s physiologic and energetic patterns of health, known as homeostasis.
What is herbal formulas
Herbal formulas may contain multiple different ingredients. Herbal formulas are taken in the form of teas, powders, pills, tinctures, or syrups. Ingredients are primarily of plant origin, and may include roots, bark, seeds, flowers, and leaves. Each ingredient has unique characteristics, that when combined, offers a therapeutic effect.
Why customize herbal formulas
We use traditional formulas that consist of a few herbs that have strictly designated roles. Some of them are the main active ingredients that address the primary complaint. Others may address secondary complaints or symptoms. That’s why we customize the majority of herbal formulas to each person.

Interview the practitioner
Our clinic’s herbalists are academically and clinically trained. The herbalists will inquire about your history of taking natural supplements, as well as ask questions of your diet in order to have a more comprehensive analysis of the safety and efficacy of any Chinese herbs they may recommend.
An herbalist will take a detailed health history (including notes about symptoms, illnesses, conditions, medications, and diet) and may also perform several diagnostic measures. Once you have been fully assessed, the herbalist will provide a prescription for a custom compounded herbal formula relevant to your therapeutic needs.
