Herbal Consult

Service Description

The earliest evidence of Chinese herbs being used for medicinal purposes dates back to 1066 B.C. For over 3,000 years, the Chinese have integrated herbal remedies into their daily lives to manage chronic and acute conditions or to preserve health and vitality. Through countless years of clinical trials, the experience and knowledge of herbs have been recorded and passed along, leading to Chinese Herbal Medicine as it is practiced today. Chinese herbs work synergistically with acupuncture for more comprehensive therapy. Together they promote energetic balance and improve the effectiveness of acupuncture, giving quicker and more lasting results. Herbs are taken daily to supplement therapy and facilitate the healing process between acupuncture treatments. Herbal therapy may also stand alone when acupuncture is not necessary or to maintain balance and vitality. The largest public movement supporting the use of herbal formulas for medicinal use came in 1949 in China. While modern pharmaceuticals were both difficult to obtain and relatively expensive, the Chinese government encouraged using herbs as a cost-effective alternative to Western drugs. Facing similar issues today, many people are seeking efficient and relatively less expensive therapy methods. Herbal therapy is tailored to your individual condition and modified to keep up with your progress and ever-changing physical condition. We prescribe high-quality prepared herbs in powder or pill form that are convenient and easy to use. We also supply raw herbs for use as herbal teas.
