Herbal Prescription

Herbal Prescription - What is it?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a rich history of using herbal remedies to address various health conditions.

Chinese herbal medicine utilizes plants and minerals in formulas tailored to individual needs, to restore balance and harmony in the body, mind, and spirit. The formulas address underlying constitutional imbalances, not just apparent symptoms. The method is a holistic approach, considering the patient's unique constitution and the interactions between their vital energy, body type and constitution.

We assess patients through abdominal, tongue and pulse diagnosis, looking at the overall patterns within the body and mind. We prescribe herbal formulas, which may be in powder, concentrated liquid remedy, or pill form. This is often but not always in combination with other modalities like acupuncture. Herbal medicine only visits are available if you have an acupuncturist that you already enjoy working with. The focus is often on chronic conditions, with consultations also exploring dietary changes and lifestyle modifications to support overall health and well-being. 

Who could benefit from an Herbal Prescription?

We enjoy helping people who have difficult to treat conditions that have not been managed successfully by other modalities, such as cancer treatment symptom management, fertility, OB/GYN, long covid, insomnia, anxiety/depression and other mental health issues, digestive disturbances of any kind, chronic fatigue, headaches, fibromyalgia, or any combination of the above. If you've been struggling with a health challenge and haven't found solutions, Chinese herbal medicine may be your ticket to a new you!
