Our Approach
Herbal Medicine Tailored to Your Body Pattern
Chinese herbal medicine is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Two patients may have the same symptom but require very different herbal formulas depending on their underlying Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis.
Your practitioner may consider digestion, sleep, stress, energy, temperature, menstrual cycle, pain, mood, tongue, pulse and medication use before recommending a suitable formula.
