Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine follows a principle called pattern differentiation. First we work out what your body is doing right now: whether it leans cold or hot, depleted or congested. Then we choose a formula to match. Each herb has its own nature, some warming and some cooling, and they are combined to guide the body back toward balance. So two people who both sleep poorly may get very different herbs, and when you come back a few weeks later, the formula changes as your body does.

We use only concentrated granules: herbs that have been cooked down, concentrated and dried. You mix them with water and drink. No boiling herbs at home. After your consultation we prescribe a formula for your constitution and concerns, usually about 7 days at a time.
