What is Chinese Herbal Medicine and how is it used in conjunction with acupuncture?
Similar to acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine has existed for more than 3,500 years and is also a component of the ancient medical system, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). For certain patients, a herbal prescription will be given in a pill, capsule, or customized form. Chinese herbs are absent of serious side effects. If you are on medication, we will discuss with you in person the interaction the herbal medicine will have with your medication. In addition, we will be more than happy to explain your current treatment to your doctor(s), if needed.
