Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine....

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical science with its own theory of how the physiology functions, its own diagnostic techniques, and treatment modalities which include Acupuncture and herbal prescriptions. The cornerstone of TCM is Chinese herbology, which has a 2,000 year history of continual evolution and success. It is one of the most sophisticated clinical systems in the world for analyzing patterns of ill health and treating them successfully.

The herbal pharmacy, encased in glass, was built in the center of the reception area so that patients and visitors can see the compounding of custom Chinese formulas from hundreds of Chinese herbs. From its bamboo floors and private Japanese garden, to its loving and caring staff, a visit to the Acupuncture & Wellness Center is a refuge from the stress and bustle of our daily lives.

Unlike Western herbology, which promotes single herbs with singular benefits, Chinese herbology uses herbs in combination to treat multiple disorders. The Chinese herbal pharmacopoeia also contains numerous herbal formulas for tonifying the energy and vitality of the human physiology, something that is not readily available in Western herbology. Herbs are very powerful, but to be effective they must be prescribed on an individual basis. For instance, Golden Seal is effective for some types of colds, but could actually cause a cold in certain types of people. The important thing with herbs is a proper diagnosis and an individualized prescription.

We are proud to have an extensive herbal pharmacy featuring hundreds

of time-proven Chinese herbal formulas.
