HERBAL MEDICINE
HERBAL MEDICINE IS HUGE COMPONENT OF OUR PRACTICE AND A NATURAL WAY TO HELP MANAGE YOUR AILMENTS.
Medicinal herbs, next to food therapy, are probably the most widely utilized Oriental Medicine (OM) treatment modality. OM has its foundations in plant medicine and relies on these therapies to treat illness and optimize health for the prevention of disease as a therapeutic system.
​​Every individual is different, so building a successful herbal medicine treatment program means working one-on-one with patients. As high-quality, naturally sourced plants are powerful, any existing prescription medications need to be taken into account, as well as lifestyle, overall fitness, and any present illnesses. This way, herbal medicine can provide optimal effects on health.
​
Herbal preparations are customized to your specific needs using minerals, foods, and plant matter. Many of our herbs come in caplet form, made into tea, or applied topically. When you meet with your doctor, you will discuss a course of treatment which could consist of just herbs or acupuncture in conjunction with herbal remedies.
