Why Consult an Herbalist?
Personalized Herbal Medicine Begins With a Consultation
Taking Chinese herbs is a safe treatment for many conditions, however, there is a lot that goes into finding the right combination of herbs for each patient. The Chinese Pharmacopeia consists of over 1,800 herbs and works with complex bodily systems. This complexity is one reason why consulting a qualified herbalist is so important. Another reason is that Chinese herbal medicine is a highly individualized practice. Herbalists combine their knowledge of herbal formulas with your information to design a formula that’s custom to you. In order to avoid negative side effects or complications with other medications, consulting with a herbalist is crucial.
Personalized Formulas Lead to Better Outcomes.
We encourage you to learn more about herbal medicine by visiting our Chinese Herb FAQ page. If you’re local to the mid-Atlantic region you can book an herbal consult with us. If you’re not, you can search for an herbalist in your state.
Your Safety Comes First
Medication & Supplement Review
We carefully evaluate prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements to minimize potential herb–drug interactions.
Allergy Screening
Many herbal formulas contain ingredients that may overlap with common allergens, including shellfish, tree nuts, soy, wheat, gluten, and sesame. We review your allergy history to ensure your formula is safe.
Proper Dosing for Best Results
Correct dosing matters. We determine the appropriate strength and duration of your formula to support effectiveness and minimize unwanted effects.
Cautions & Contraindications
Certain herbs require special consideration for preexisting conditions. Pregnancy is one of the most common contraindications, but we also assess other health factors to ensure safe use.
