Custom Herbs: The Missing Ingredient in Most Protocols
Herbal medicine has been a cornerstone of traditional healing practices for centuries. At our clinic, we harness the power of custom herbs to complement and enhance your treatment plan. By creating personalized herbal formulas, we address your unique health needs and provide the missing ingredient that can significantly boost your overall wellness.
How Others Do It
If you comb through all the practitioners out there on the internet, you’ll find some combination of supplements, dietary advice and occasionally nervous system support to help you heal from your chronic illness. Increasingly, supplements on the market are incorporating herbs in order to boost their effectiveness as more and more studies on herbs are making their way into medical journals.
Effective herbs come from many traditions, but the vast majority of herbs that are being proven safe and effective come from Chinese medicine. Some of the new formulations incorporating Chinese herbs may be helpful in some ways, but the real advantage of Chinese medicine is not in the efficacy of individual herbs but in the custom combination of multiple herbs to achieve an almost drug-like effectiveness completely free of side-effects.
What to Expect
Thorough Evaluation
The process begins with a detailed evaluation of your health history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. This comprehensive assessment allows us to understand your specific needs and tailor herbal remedies accordingly.
Personalized Herbal Formulas
Based on the evaluation, we design custom herbal formulas tailored to your unique constitution and health concerns. These formulas are crafted from high-quality herbs selected for their specific therapeutic properties and ability to work synergistically with your body.
In Chinese medicine we don’t treat symptoms, instead we treat patterns. Two people with the same exact diagnosis may have completely different patterns, and therefore completely different herbal treatments. At the same time, two people with different diagnoses may have the exact same pattern and therefore the same herbal treatment. This is why there’s no real answer for questions like, “what herbs should I take to lower my blood pressure?”
Holistic Approach
Our custom herbs are integrated into a holistic treatment plan that may include acupuncture, nutrition, and other therapies. This integrative approach ensures that all aspects of your health are addressed, providing a comprehensive pathway to healing.
Safety and Quality Assurance
We prioritize your safety by using only the highest quality herbs sourced from reputable suppliers. Each herb is carefully chosen for its purity, potency, and efficacy. We also ensure that your custom formula is free from contaminants and tailored to avoid any potential interactions with other medications or treatments you may be receiving.
Ancient not Mystical
In the days that Chinese medicine was being developed, the medical terminology was different than it is today. Rather than explaining that there is a problem in the circulatory system, they may diagnose you with blood stasis. Rather than describing the way that poor digestion and food reactions cause sinus congestion, they may say, “The stomach is the source of Dampness and the Lung is the container.” This may sound mystical or magical to our modern, English-speaking brains, but it’s really not. It’s just terminology from a time when people were more familiar with the cycles of nature than the workings of bodies. If you know how to translate these phrases into modern physiology, like we do, you can apply this pattern approach to treating individuals.
Continuous Monitoring and Adjustment
As your treatment progresses, we regularly monitor your response to the herbal formulas. Follow-up consultations allow us to adjust the formulas as needed to ensure optimal effectiveness and address any new health concerns that may arise.
Delivered to Your Door
We use only top pharmacies with the highest quality herbs that are lab-tested for contaminants on the US-side of the transaction. We don’t trust China to just be honest about what’s in them. These pharmacies employ herbalist to put together our herbal prescriptions, exactly as prescribed, and mail them right to your door. The herbs we use are dehydrated granules, think Taster’s Choice but herbal medicine, so all you have to do is check your mail and mix them with water to make some of the most powerful medicine available and to turbo-charge your healing process.
Our Unique Approach
There are lots of functional or natural medical practitioners using pre-made supplements. There are nutritional therapy practitioners, healing with food. There are Acupuncturists prescribing herbs as an adjunct to their Acupuncture practices or even herbalist treating strictly with herbs, but there are no other clinics that take the best of cutting-edge modern techniques and combine them with the ancient and tested traditions of Chinese herbal medicine in the way we do to create individualized treatment plans with one-on-one coaching to heal your body on a deeper level.
