Custom Chinese herbal formulas — the oldest form of medicine — prepared on site and tailored to your body and your particular needs.
What Is Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine — also called herbalism, botanical medicine, or nutraceuticals — is the use of herbs for their therapeutic or medicinal value. Herbs contain chemical substances that can treat illness and support the body's natural functions.
The Oldest Form of Healthcare
Herbal medicine is the oldest form of healthcare known to mankind. Ancient peoples discovered medicinal uses by observing animals and through careful experimentation, gradually building deep knowledge systems about the plant remedies around them.
Still Relevant Today
About 25 percent of prescription medications in the United States contain at least one active ingredient derived from plant material — some are plant extracts, while others are synthetic compounds that mimic natural substances.
Used Safely
While herbs often have fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals, they are not harmless and must be taken appropriately, as prescribed by a licensed herbalist. The ancient Chinese formulas have endured for thousands of years because they work — and they can be modified to fit your body and your particular ailment. Many conditions benefit from herbal therapy alone, or in combination with acupuncture.
