Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is the art of balancing flavours to compliment and support the body. It is somewhat similar to the way a master chef balances flavours to make something delicious and unexpected. Herbal formulas aren’t always delicious, though they can bring powerful change to the body, right where the individual needs it.

All our formulas are created with the individual in mind. What’s more, they take into account what is happening with that person on that particular moment, on that particular day, helping them to meet the challenges life is throwing in real time. For this reason, your practitioner will often refine your formula over time as they come to know you better or change your herbal formula to reflect the changes in you as you progress.

So, what is in Chinese Herbs?

Our herbs are high quality, organic herbs sourced as ethically as possible. They come to us raw, dried products, which we prepare and grind into powders in our Thornbury studio.

Most of our herbal products are plant-based, though we do occasionally prescribe non-endangered animal products if we feel it is necessary. If you would prefer your herbs to be plant based only, just let us know and we will be happy to accommodate.

If your practitioner thinks you will benefit from herbs, they will discuss it with you during your consultation. You will receive a powdered herbal formula that is usually taken twice a day, mixed into warm water.

Our herbal products are normally $35 for a week’s supply.
