Herbals and Nutritional Supplements

Chinese herbs are often used in conjunction with acupuncture for added therapeutic effect. While many cultures have herbal medicine traditions, the sophistication of Chinese herbal medicine is unsurpassed. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history reaching back several thousand years, and the resulting system is now used to treat everything from the common cold to symptoms associated with cancer.

Together we can tailor a course of treatment
to meet your unique health needs.

In addition to Chinese herbs, I will often incorporate the use of Western Herbs, Ayurvedic herbs and Nutritional Supplements into a treatment plan when appropriate. The use of herbs and supplements together with acupuncture treatment typically helps to restore balance to the body quicker than just relying on acupuncture alone. Herbs are extremely effective and normally have only mild side effects, however it is very important to tell me about all the medications and supplements you are currently taking so that we can avoid any unwanted interactions with your formula.
