Herbal Medicine has been systematically developed in China over the course of at least 2,500 years and includes teas, syrups, tinctures, and pills for internal use as well as soaks, masks, and plasters for external use. Chinese herbs are rarely taken alone, with exceptions such as Ginseng. They are most commonly taken in complexely derived formulas which are balanced with other herbs that work synergistically or protect against side-effects. For example, if a patient has a bacterial infection, herbs will be give to kill the bacteria and other herbs will be added to protect the stomach and digestion.

Besides their use during treatments, herbs are often necessary to continue working on a condition in between acupuncture treatments. We offer herbs in pill form, which are most convenient, powder form and in raw herb form, which while much more effective, can be a little more time-consuming.
