Chinese Herbs

Chinese herbs can be used in conjunction with acupuncture for added therapeutic effect. While many cultures have herbal medicine traditions, the sophistication of Chinese herbal medicine is unsurpassed. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history reaching back several thousand years, and the resulting system is now used to treat everything from the common cold to infertility to symptoms associated with cancer.

There are thousands of herbs in the Chinese materia medica, of which about 300 are commonly used.  Chinese herbs are extremely effective and normally have only mild side effects, however it is very important to tell me about all the medications and supplements you are currently taking so that we can avoid any unwanted interactions with your formula.

Note: Herbal consultation service will not be independently offered, you have to be already on acupuncture service.  Simple herbal consult is included.  Extensive herbal consult is not included in our comprehensive acupuncture service and there will be a separate charge.
