What is Herbal Medicine?
Plant medicine is probably the earliest and
certainly most enduring form of healing.
Chinese Herbalism dates back thousands of years. Over the millennia, the use of herbs has been refined and adjusted to meet the needs of modern life. Herbs support and boost our bodies' own healing ability. If a person is healthy, herbs can
prevent disease or dysfunction from developing. For the person who is struggling with illness or imbalances, Chinese herbs are a powerful healing method.
Herbs can be used alone or in conjunction with acupuncture. Herbs are 100% natural and include flowers, roots, leaves, seeds, nuts, fruits and minerals.
Custom Formulas
Each herb patient receives a unique, customized blend of herbs based on classical formulas. Ki does a thorough 1 1/2 hour diagnosis to determine the best combination of herbs for each patient's unique situation. A major advantage to customized formulas is they can be fine-tuned as symptoms clear. Typically the formula is comprised of raw herbs that the patient takes home and brews into a tea. The tea is taken daily as Ki prescribes. Some patients prefer to take their herbs in powder form. Others prefer capsules.
Like acupuncture, herbs are holistic and thus work on all levels, body/mind/spirit. Many patients are surprised at how much better they feel emotionally as well as physically after taking their herbs.
