Herb Consultations (without acupuncture):  Although most of our patients like to include acupuncture in their treatment plan, we do offer herbal medicine consultations for patients who do not want acupuncture.  

Initial herb appointments include consultation, general medical history review, a Chinese medicine intake, and herbal medicine recommendations.  Follow up consults allow the practitioner to tack the patient's progress as well as make adjustments to the herbal formula.

Depending on the individual and the health concern being addressed, these consults are conducted every 2-4 weeks. Please allow 45-60 minutes for a Initial Herbal Consult and 15-30 minutes for a Follow Up Herb Consult.  Please note that herb consults DO NOT include the cost of the herbal medicine.
