HERBAL MEDICINE

Personalized formulas to support hormones, digestion, stress, and whole-body healing.
While acupuncture stimulates change during your appointment, herbs continue the work between visits. Herbal medicine is one of the most powerful tools in Chinese medicine. 
These are not random supplements, nor one-size-fits-all blends. Every formula is customized to your body, your symptoms, and your goals.

how herbs work:

regulate your system

Herbs influence the nervous system, endocrine system, and digestive function — helping the body communicate more effectively. Instead of masking symptoms, they support your body’s natural ability to recover.

target
the pattern

Your formula is tailored specifically to your body and your goals. In Chinese medicine, symptoms are clues — not the problem itself. Herbs are selected to address the underlying pattern causing imbalance, whether that’s inflammation, poor circulation, stress overload, or hormonal disruption.

create long term change

While acupuncture creates movement during your visit, herbs continue working daily. Taken consistently, they gently guide your body toward sustainable, lasting results.

How Herbal Medicine Works

Herbal formulas are made from carefully selected plant, mineral, and botanical ingredients that work together to:

  • Regulate hormone cycles

  • Improve digestion and reduce bloating

  • Support fertility and IVF outcomes

  • Calm the nervous system

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Strengthen energy and resilience

Rather than forcing symptoms down, herbal medicine helps your body function more efficiently and sustainably.

What Makes It Different

In Chinese medicine, herbs are combined into balanced formulas — meaning each ingredient has a purpose. Some herbs target the root cause, others support digestion and absorption, and others reduce side effects.

This layered approach makes herbal medicine both effective and gentle.

Formulas may come as capsules, granules (powder mixed into warm water), or tinctures depending on what works best for you.

Is Herbal Medicine Safe?

Yes — when prescribed properly.

As a licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I tailor each formula to your health history, medications, and constitution. Herbs are sourced from trusted suppliers that test for purity and quality.

If you’re undergoing IVF or taking medications, formulas are carefully coordinated to ensure safety and compatibility.

Herbal medicine is especially helpful for:

  • Irregular or painful cycles

  • PMS and hormone imbalance

  • Fertility support

  • Digestive issues like IBS or chronic bloating

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Stress and burnout

Many patients choose to combine herbs with acupuncture for deeper, longer-lasting results.
