For over 5000 years, all parts of plants (leaf, stem, flower, root) and also minerals have been used as tools for healing. At Holly Chinese Herbal &Acupuncture Centre, the herbal consultation is incorporated into the overall acupuncture treatment because they complement each other. Daily herbal therapy at home helps maintain the focus of the treatment goals in between acupuncture visits. The herbal consultation is also offered as an a la cart service for half an hour.
Herbal Consultation

In Oriental Medicine, symptoms are often manifestations of root level disharmonies.  During an herbal consultation, your practitioner will "connect the dots" with a thorough intake of your health to get to your Root Diagnosis. The practitioner will also observe your tongue and feel the quality of your pulse to get a deeper understanding of what's going on in your body.   With the sum of information, the practitioner will then create a custom formula that will support both your overall constitution and your specific focus. Herbal formulas are adjusted accordingly as change in your condition dictates. Herbs are sold separately .
