Herbal Medicine
What is herbal medicine?
Herbal medicine has been an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over two thousand years. This approach utilizes the natural healing properties of plants and minerals to address a variety of health issues.
After a consultation, your herbalist constructs a custom formula designed to meet your health needs. Formulas may contain 3 to 15 herbs and/or minerals, which may be brewed as teas or taken in capsule form.

- Cold and flu symptoms
- Breathing issues
- Digestive problems
- Insomnia
- Pain
- Infertility for all genders
