HERBs

Herbal remedies in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can aid in the treatment of a number of ailments such as acid reflux, abdominal pain, irregular menstrual cycles, menopause, migraines, and anxiety, when used in conjunction with additional acupuncture treatments.

How does it work?

As specialists, we closely note the pathways and channels that facilitate the circulation of qi energy throughout the body, identifying and correcting the areas where qi energy has been blocked, restricted, or weakened. Herbal supplements are used in conjunction with other treatments to nourish the body from within, strengthening vital qi and eliminating pathogens. Each herbal supplement is prescribed on a per-patient basis, depending on the patient’s specific needs or ailment. In some patients, results are immediate and in others, results are gradual. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

Many people are surprised to discover how much they learn about their general health and wellness, upon their first visit. The body has many ways of reporting on the overall status of one’s health, while pointing out any specific deficiencies or areas that need to be addressed through treatment. These deficiencies are specific to the individual and their underlying condition, demonstrating the importance of high quality specialized treatment. In the case of herbal prescriptions, some patients experience a positive change in their health immediately, and others experience that change gradually. Drinking an herbal prescription, as advised by your Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor is but a single (albeit positive) step towards better health and wellness.
