Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is the second half of Chinese medicine, and most clinics in Ontario do not offer it. A formula is a prescription, not a product. It contains somewhere between six and twenty herbs balanced against each other, it is based on your diagnosis, and it is rewritten as your condition changes.
Where acupuncture restores circulation, herbs rebuild what is depleted underneath. This is where slower, deeper change happens.
What herbal medicine treats
- Long-standing fatigue and depletion.
- Digestive weakness and loose stools.
- Irregular or painful periods and PCOS.
- Preparation for pregnancy.
- Postpartum recovery.
- Recurrent colds and low resistance.
- Insomnia with anxiety.
- Skin conditions driven from the inside.
- Chronic conditions where weekly visits are not practical.
How it works here
We prescribe after a full diagnosis and dispense from our own stock. The formula is adjusted at each follow-up.
Formulas are available in all three forms: raw herbs to decoct at home, granules, and capsules. We will choose the form you are most likely to take consistently.
Safety and limits
Tell us about every medication and supplement you take. Some herbs interact with blood thinners, hormonal medication and fertility drugs. If you are in an IVF cycle we will work around your protocol.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or being treated for a serious condition, let us know at the first visit.
