Service Description

Traditional Chinese Herbal remedy stands as one of the oldest and most esteemed systems of health supplementation globally. While it has been a significant therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), its recognition outside of China has been relatively recent. A prominent distinction between Western herbalism and Chinese Herbal medicine lies in their approaches. The Western Herbal tradition emphasizes the use of individual herbs, known as “simples,” while Chinese Herbal medicine predominantly relies on herbal combinations. According to Chinese medicine theory, it is crucial to address both the symptoms and the underlying root causes of an ailment. Consequently, Chinese Herbal formulas are not formulated to treat specific illness symptoms; instead, they are tailored to the individual based on the intricate principles of traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese herbal pharmacopeia comprises over 400 herbs, with nearly 1000 classic Herbal formulas commonly employed. Within the traditional Chinese herbal medicine system, these formulas possess the versatility to address a wide range of conditions. In China, they are frequently employed to address stress, anxiety, insomnia, IBS, infertility, menstrual pain, irregular menstruation, menopause, peripheral artery disease (PAD), skin problems, and to provide support during cancer treatment. Additionally, acupuncture is often combined with herbal treatment to augment its efficacy. While acupuncture is typically associated with pain relief in the Western world, its integration with herbs enables the treatment of diverse conditions. At our practice, we appreciate the rich heritage and profound effectiveness of Traditional Chinese herbal remedy. Our practitioners harness this ancient wisdom to craft tailored herbal formulas that address both the symptoms and the underlying imbalances, providing comprehensive and holistic care to our patients.
