Chinese herbal medicines treat the underlying causes of illness rather than individual symptoms. At the Academy’s Herbal Clinic, we apply a holistic approach to the use of herbs to address physical, emotional and spiritual issues. Once a student practitioner has assessed a patient’s specific needs, a formula is individually created to stimulate the body’s natural healing powers. While most over-the-counter herbal products can only address physical ailments with standardized, pre-formulated dosing, our student herbal practitioners are educated to design custom-made formulas for each individual. No two formulas are alike. This focus on individualization puts the patient’s specific needs in the forefront, and just as importantly, takes into consideration any possible interactions with prescribed medications.

There are three ways to dispense Chinese herbal formulas. The patient and practitioner decide together which form is best. Below are the available forms an herbal formula can take:

The most valuable benefit of an herbal consultation is the carefully blended combination of herbs specifically designed to address each person’s unique set of needs. You can benefit if you are:

• Looking for greater balance and harmony
• A person with an acute or chronic condition such as allergies, asthma, migraines, IBS and insomnia
• Someone with emotional challenges such as anxiety, stress, fear, addictions, anger, grief, or depression
• Looking for caring and compassionate practitioners who listen
• Ready for an alternative, yet proven solution to health issues.
