Chinese Herbal Medicine
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Chinese herbal medicine works by addressing the underlying patterns of imbalance that contribute to illness.
Herbal formulas are carefully prescribed based on an individual’s presentation, constitution, and health history. These formulas typically combine several herbs that work together synergistically to support the body’s natural healing processes.
In my practice, I work mostly within the tradition of classical herbal medicine, having completed further studies with the Institute of Classics in East Asian Medicine (ICEAM).
Herbal consultations are included with any acupuncture session or can be provided as a stand-alone session.
Formulas are prescribed as either raw herbs to take home and ‘decoct’, granules that you simply add warm water and stir, pills or tinctures. We will discuss these options during the consult and decide which form is best for you.
