Herbal Therapy
Giving Nature Herbal Formulas are created to put your health back into your hands with remedies that are pure, all-natural, and effective for commonly-experienced ailments.
Formulated by licensed herbalist Janet Humphrey L.Ac. for use in her own clinic, they are based on time-tested traditional formulas that have been refined over thousands of years. Drawing upon 20 years of experience treating patients naturally, Janet has incorporated skillful modifications to meet the demands of today’s high-stress lifestyle.
The strength of Traditional Chinese herbal medicine comes from blending a number of different herbs together to work synergistically. In China even today, people are able to find many effective herbal blends in their local pharmacy. In the West we have become familiar primarily with single herb extracts - for example, Echinacea or Olive Leaf to support immunity, but rarely gain access to the superior effects of blended formulas.
Janet saw the need to put these formulas into the hands of people in the West. People are looking for natural herbal remedies to use as an alternative to over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. In response to many patient requests, she created Giving Nature Herbal Formulas.
Easy to use, easy to understand - Giving Nature Herbal Formulas come as liquid tinctures that can be taken in water at home or on the go.
Giving Nature Herbal Formulas use organic and wild-harvested herbs whenever possible, with attention to environmental sustainability. Cultivated herbs are subjected to lab testing to verify their purity.

When you come for treatment at Giving Nature Center, herbal remedies may be chosen or created specifically for your unique condition. The use of herbs is particularly well-suited in the treatment of some conditions, and less indicated in others. In many cases herbal therapy accelerates the course of healing and can reduce the number or frequency of acupuncture treatments required.
Selected herbal formulas can be safely and effectively used in pregnancy and also in children's health.
Herbal medicine is a traditional approach to healing that has been used for thousands of years in all cultures. Many modern pharmaceutical medicines come from extracted or synthesized herbal components, in recognition of their medical effectiveness. Yet once a component is extracted or synthesized, the natural qualities and internal balance of whole herbs is lost, leading to unwanted side-effects.
It is precisely the natural combination of components within herbs, along with the skillful knowledge in how to use them, that makes herbal medicine so effective and safe. In traditional herbal therapy, herbs in their whole form are combined with other herbs to make a formula that is tailored to treat your specific condition.
Herbal formulas are traditionally given in a variety of ways, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences. At Giving Nature Center we use herbal tinctures, powdered herbs that are stirred into water, and tableted herbs, taken 2-3 times per day.
