Herbal Therapy

Our skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners offer a variety of herbal remedies that can be integrated into and enhance conventional medical treatments. Scientific research indicates that a variety of plant products can cure or prevent certain diseases. In fact, many pharmaceutical drugs used in modern Western medicine are derived from herbs. Our herbal therapy patients undergo a thorough consultation to determine if herbal therapy is the right option for them. If a need for herbal medicine is indicated, our practitioners will work with both the patient and his/her primary care physician to pinpoint the correct herbal remedy and dosage. Herbs can be prescribed in many ways but are most commonly ingested in tea or pill form.

Please Note: Some herbal remedies have the potential to cause adverse drug interactions when used in combination with various prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. Please be certain to work with a qualified herbal therapist and physician.
