Traditional Chinese Medicine is a complete system of medicine. Herbal medicine is an essential component of this system. While acupuncture calls on your body to regulate itself, herbal medicine introduces powerful medicinal substances to aid in your body's return to balance. Herbal medicine has been safely and effectively used for thousands of years to promote health and heal disease.

Chinese HerbsHerbal Pharmacopoeia
Over 10,000 natural substances are catalogued in Chinese herbal pharmacopoeia. In her practice, Amy calls on over four hundred of the most highly studied of these herbs. These substances consist of plant species from all over the world as well as both mineral and animal materials.

Personalized Medicine
Chinese herbs are most often taken in formula, combinations of herbs, rather than singly. The synergy of combining herbs vastly increase the medicinal effects. Blending herbs in this way also allows Amy to tailor the medicine for each patient.
