What To Expect

What a consult looks like

Step 01

A pattern-based intake

We look at your full picture, not just a symptom list, to understand the pattern driving what you're experiencing.

Step 02

A formula built for you

Mixed in-house for your specific constitution, with clear instructions for how and when to take it.

Step 03

Adjusted as you go

Follow-up consults refine the formula as your body responds, so it keeps working with you, not against where you've already moved.

Common Questions

What patients ask us

How is a formula chosen for me?

Chinese herbal medicine is pattern-based, not symptom-based. We take your full history and current presentation and build a formula for your specific constitution, not a generic blend for a diagnosis. As you progress, the formula is adjusted with you.

Can I do herbal medicine without acupuncture?

Yes. We offer standalone herbal consultations, though most patients find herbs work best alongside acupuncture visits, where a consultation is already included at no extra charge.

How do I take the herbs?

Most formulas are taken as a tea or granule dissolved in water, prescribed with clear instructions for your specific formula.

Is herbal medicine safe with my other medications?

We review your current medications and health history as part of every consultation, and we'll flag anything that needs coordination with your doctor.

Do you accept insurance?

We're out-of-network for visits. Herbal costs are separate from consultation fees and generally aren't covered by insurance, though we can provide documentation if your plan allows for it.
