HERBAL CONSULTS
Chinese herbal medicine carries a lineage of over two thousand years, a living tradition that continues to evolve while honoring its roots. In my practice, I use herbs much like acupuncture: to restore balance, relieve discomfort, and support the body’s natural intelligence. A single formula may address many layers at once: digestive, emotional, hormonal, because each person’s story weaves these systems together.
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
During a consultation, we explore your symptoms and the patterns beneath them. I then select herbs to reflect your unique landscape. For acute issues, one course may be enough. Chronic patterns ask for more time and steady attention, with formulas changing as you do.
When you come for acupuncture, an herbal consultation is always part of our time together. If I feel that herbs could deepen or extend the effects of treatment, I’ll prescribe a formula tailored to your needs. Some people, especially those who are needle-shy, may choose to work with herbs alone, as they can be equally effective in guiding the body toward balance.
At my practice, I often use herbal medicine for fertility support, menstrual regulation, stress-related conditions, and the everyday imbalances that come from a hectic life. I tend to prescribe herbs in pill form for ease and consistency, though the tradition spans teas, powders, tinctures and granules.
Ultimately, Chinese herbal medicine is about relationship – between organ systems, between practitioner and patient, between you and the unseen forces that shape health. It’s a quiet collaboration with nature, one that invites harmony back into the body and spirit.
WHAT TO EXPECT
“To be healed is to remember our belonging to the earth.”
When prescribed and monitored by a trained practitioner, Chinese herbs are remarkably safe and effective. They aren’t meant to be taken indefinitely or like daily supplements. Instead, they meet you where you are, guiding you toward equilibrium, and are adjusted or discontinued as your condition shifts.
