Herbal Therapy
Chinese herbal medicine is a comprehensive form of medicine that can effectively address a wide variety of conditions. It has a long clinical history of treating acute and chronic conditions. It excels in treating conditions that Western medicine has difficulty in treating including gynecological problems and infertility, as well as chronic conditions such as eczema, arthritis, chronic fatigue or insomnia. Selected herbal formulas can be safely and effectively used in pregnancy and also in children’s health.
In Chinese herbal medicine, herbs are combined to work synergistically. 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 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. Herbs may be administered as powders, tablets, tinctures, or as whole herbs that are cooked at home into a medicinal “tea.”
An herbal consultation includes a full evaluation of your health history and presenting health issues, including a traditional pulse and tongue diagnosis. An herbal formula is written to meet your specific needs. Depending on your condition, herbs may be prescribed for a week or up to several months. Follow up consultations may be scheduled according to your treatment plan.
