Herbal Medicine
Support Healing. Restore Balance. Nurture Vitality.
Herbal medicine is a key aspect of Chinese Medicine, involving predominantly plant-based formulas prepared to suit an individual’s presentation. These formulas aim to support the body’s own capacity for regulation, balance, and wellbeing, and are included in a personalized treatment plan when appropriate.
Whether you're seeking support for skin concerns, digestive issues, or chronic health conditions, herbal medicine can play a vital role in your healing journey.
How Herbal Medicine Works
Chinese herbal medicine draws on a long history of empirical use, with formulas selected to address patterns of imbalance identified through traditional diagnostic methods. Herbal formulas may be provided in the form of teas, powders, pills, or topical liniments and creams, depending on your needs and preferences.
Prescriptions are tailored to your condition and may be adjusted over time to reflect changes in your health. These preparations are intended to support your treatment goals and are commonly used in conjunction with acupuncture or lifestyle advice.
What To Expect In Your Appointment
During your consultation, we’ll explore your symptoms, health history, and overall presentation. Based on this, a herbal formula may be recommended.
You will receive clear instructions on how to take your herbs, including dosage, timing, and any potential side effects or interactions. Most people tolerate herbs well, but individual responses vary, and formulas are always adjusted to support safety and suitability.
Herbal treatment typically works gradually, and noticeable effects may develop over several weeks, depending on the condition and consistency of use.
