Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is based on individualized diagnosis, so each patient receives a custom written herbal prescription designed to treat both the symptom or disease and also their unique individual health pattern. Health patterns are made up of a person's signs and symptoms as well as their emotional temperament and body constitution. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners employ ingredients from the vegetable, animal and mineral kingdoms to craft formulas that promote the body's ability to heal and recuperate. Formulas are generally prescribed as a tea but are also available in the form of tinctures or pills.

While Chinese herbalism comes from an ancient tradition, it continues to evolve and is driven by constant research and practice to further the base of knowledge. As a result, it has adapted to meet our modern needs and offer a natural alternative to pharmaceutical interventions.
