Herbal Medicine
Whatever the disease might be, there is plant, or blend of plants, to heal it.
Eastern Herbalism has a unique understanding how herbs in specific combination can be directed to different parts of the body. Herbal remedies should be customized to the individual to treat their ailment, while also enhancing their underlying constitution. Herbal remedies must be as dynamic as the person and their story. Our bodies change more quickly than the seasons, and we must reflect that in the medicine we take, the food we eat and the exercise we do. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to effective herbal remedies.
Chinese Herbal texts are the most comprehensive and sophisticated pharmacological medicine we have on this earth. The Materia Medica was created beginning around 206 BC and continues to develop knowledge to this day. This incredible text covers 365+ herbs, their chemical compositions, their interactions with one another to enhance effects, the optimal planting and harvesting techniques for peak medicinal effect, methodologies for decoctions, and thousands of applications for various ailments and disease. Whatever the disease might be, there is plant, or blend of plants, to heal it.
“Herbal medicine complements the physical components of Traditional Chinese Medicine including acupuncture, cupping, and auricular therapy. It is often essential to the healing process and optimizes your body’s response and recovery.”

“I cannot thank Dr. M enough for her love and support while I was on my healing journey from long COVID and mold exposure. From our very first session together, she demonstrated an exceptional level of empathy and understanding, always taking the time to listen to my concerns and providing valuable insights and recommendations. She introduced me to Chinese medicine, which I was initially hesitant to try having grown up in the western medicine world, but Dr. M always provided me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision. She provided constant reassurance and encouragement throughout the process.
I feel very grateful to have found such a caring and knowledgeable practitioner, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to explore the benefits of Chinese herbs and acupuncture. I have learned so much through Dr. M, and her knowledge and support have helped change my life for the better!””
