Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbology is one of the primary modalities in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Dating back to the Han dynasty, Chinese herbal medicine has been used for centuries around the world to support health and balance. Its practices continue to evolve as modern research and techniques expand our understanding. Herbs are carefully selected from plants, animals, minerals, and food sources for their unique properties and effects. They come in many forms — including teas, tinctures, oils, tablets, and caplets — making them accessible and easy to integrate into daily life. This holistic approach not only addresses specific health concerns but also supports overall well-being by helping the body restore balance and work with its natural healing processes.

What can Chinese Herbal Medicine treat?

Chinese herbal medicine can be used for a wide range of concerns, whether acute or chronic, internal or external, and often addresses multiple symptoms at once. It can also help support the body during prescription treatments or as part of preventive care. Herbal prescriptions usually combine two or more herbs that work together to promote balance and wellness. Depending on the condition, a formula may be used for anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months. While most Chinese herbs are generally safe with medications, it’s important to share all the medications you’re taking with your acupuncturist so that your herbal treatment is safe and effective for you.
