Chinese Herbal Medicine & Therapeutic Supplementation
Rooted in plants. Guided by Classical Wisdom.
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the oldest continuously practiced systems of healing in the world. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, we identify patterns of imbalance and restore harmony at the root cause.
Each formula is carefully selected or customized to support your body’s natural intelligence. Whether you are navigating hormonal shifts, digestive concerns, stress, fatigue, immune challenges, or chronic conditions, there are natural solutions designed to support you.
This is personalized plant medicine guided by classical tradition and informed by modern science, grounded in the understanding that mind and body are deeply connected.

Herbal Medicine FAQ
-
Chinese herbal medicine has been practiced for thousands of years and is considered safe when prescribed by a trained, licensed practitioner. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, I am trained in proper dosing, herb-drug interactions, and formula customization to ensure safety and effectiveness.
All herbs are sourced from reputable suppliers who conduct quality testing for purity and contaminants.
-
Before prescribing any formula or supplement, we review your full health history and current medications. If you are taking prescription medications, herbs are thoughtfully selected to avoid interactions and ensure safety.
When appropriate, coordination with your primary care provider may be recommended.

No. Herbal and supplement consultations are available as a standalone service. While herbs and acupuncture work beautifully and synergistically together, many patients benefit from herbal support alone.
Consultations are available in person or virtually for individuals located in California.

Herbs may be prescribed in granules, capsules, tinctures, or customized formulas depending on your needs and preference. Professional-grade supplements may also be recommended to support your treatment plan.
-
This depends on your condition and health goals. Acute concerns may require short-term support, while chronic conditions often benefit from longer-term rebalancing. Treatment plans are always personalized and reassessed regularly.
-
Some herbs have a stronger taste, while others are mild. Traditional herbal formulas often have a naturally earthy or bitter taste, though most patients adjust quickly and tolerate them well.
Alternative forms such as capsules and tinctures are also available when preferred.
