Chinese Herbal Medicine is the Cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine

The beauty of custom Chinese Herbal Formulas is that the prescription is written just for you! No two bodies are the same, so even though you and my next client might have the same Western diagnosis, your symptoms won’t be the same. Let’s look at the case of migraine – two people with migraines may come into my office one day. One may find their symptoms are noticeably worse with stress. The other may find that they get tired and dizzy often and tend toward constipation. To fully treat the illness’s underlying cause, we need to pay attention to this variation in symptoms and treat accordingly – hence, a prescription made just for you.

 

For convenience’s sake – for my patients in terms of ease of use and for myself because of storage issues in my office – I use powdered Chinese herbs. These herbs mix up just like instant coffee. They dissolve best in warm water.
