when taking traditional pharmaceuticals, most of us want the symptoms to disappear immediately. unfortunately that immediate effect can be a short lived, quick fix. that fast acting pill often neglects to address the root cause of the ailment and symptoms may resurface when you stop taking the medicine. chinese medicine functions differently. it not only eliminates the symptom, but addresses the root cause so that the body does not become dependent upon medication to function optimally. herbs can be used for acute or chronic complaints and help to support your body's ability to naturally return to a place of health.

herbal formulas are a powerful tool and an easy complement to regular acupuncture treatments. not only are they a safe and all natural way of treating sickness and pain, but they also help the body integrate the overall treatment goals internally on a daily basis between visits to your acupuncturist. herbal remedies are easily taken and can be prescribed in the form of a tea or capsule.
