We use both Oriental and Western herbs.  Oriental formulas are complex, rarely containing less than four herbs, and many are made up of twenty or more.  Their advantages are that they may be tailored to the specific needs and constitution of the individual and are powerful.

Western herbs may also be highly effective and are relatively inexpensive.  Herbs are supportive and nourishing and an essential counterpart to acupuncture and other energetic therapies.  One might think of most herbs as super foods which work cooperatively with the body to enhance its processes.  For many conditions herbs can provide a safe and effective alternative to drug therapy.  They may also complement pharmaceutical therapy.
