Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is a foundational part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). These time-tested, plant-based formulas are used to nourish the body, calm the mind, and restore internal balance. I offer personalized herbal prescriptions that align with your unique constitution and current health needs—whether you're addressing stress, hormonal shifts, digestion, skin issues, or sleep concerns.

How can Chinese herbs support you?

During your herbal consultation or acupuncture session, I assess your overall pattern of health and choose a custom formula tailored specifically to you. Your prescription may shift over time as your body begins to rebalance.

Chinese herbal medicine can be used for a wide variety of concerns including:

  • Stress and emotional health

  • Hormonal and menstrual health

  • Digestive issues

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Skin imbalances

  • Immune support

  • Energy and fatigue

Whether you're coming in for regular acupuncture or just starting with herbs, we’ll find what best supports your healing.
