Herbal medicine is a major part of traditional Chinese medicine and has been used for centuries in China. Like acupuncture, Chinese herbs can address an imbalance in the body that manifests in a variety of symptoms. Herbal medicine aims to help you regain homeostasis, or balance, in your body and to strengthen your body’s resistance to disease.

 

Chinese herbs may be used to:

• Decrease cold/flu symptoms

• Increase energy

• Improve breathing

• Improve digestion

• Improve sleep

• Decrease pain

• Improve menopausal symptoms

• Help regulate menstrual cycles if infertility is an issue

​

Herbal formulas are taken in the form of teas, powders, pills, tinctures, or syrups with ingredients primarily being of plant origin. Each ingredient has unique characteristics, that when combined, offers a therapeutic effect on many acute and chronic conditions.
