Herbal Remedies

The Chinese herbal pharmacopeia is a uniquely powerful system of herbalism. Hundreds of formulas exist for tailoring to specific needs. At Wise Turtle Acupuncture, pills, plasters, lineaments, oils, powders and tinctures can be added to treatment protocols for increased healing benefit.

Used properly, Chinese herbal remedies are extremely effective. Rarely are they used as a stand alone treatment; they provide better results when prescribed by practitioner grounded in Chinese medical theory and used with acupuncture, diet and exercise.

Unlike western herbalism, Chinese herbs are most often taken in a formula. There are a handful of single herb preparations but the combined effects of a number of herbs used together increase the healing potential exponentially. These formulas have been in existence for hundreds of years and there is no other system in the herbal world that possesses such a vast history and complexity. It is a flexible system and lends itself to combinations with other Chinese formulas or western herbs.

At Wise Turtle Acupuncture, your practitioner also has a good working knowledge of western herbs and nutritional supplements. We are blessed with excellent local and regional herb companies that provide high quality products. They can be as good as if not better than Chinese herbs, depending on the issue.

Herbal remedies are good for a plethora of ailments. These include sleep issues, headaches, upper respiratory disorders such as colds, flu, and allergies, for hormonal balancing such as PMS and menopause problems, joint issues, pain and inflammation of all sorts, mood disorders, stress, digestive problems, high blood pressure, and skin ailments.
All of our herbal products adhere to good manufacturing practices and are free of contaminants.
