Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine is used for many internal conditions and when mixed with other binders may be used as an herbal plaster to relieve external pain conditions or arthritis.

Here at Box Acupuncture Traditional Chinese Medicine, we purchase and use herbs from companies that are trustworthy, undergo vigorous third party testing to exclude any harmful substances like pesticides, or heavy metals.

Most of our herbal formulas are in the form of pills or granules that only need to be mixed with warm water to be consumed. We may also prescribe herbs that can be cooked in soups to enhance flavor but also have a therapeutic effect. For instance, fresh ginger may be prescribed to cook in bone broth to warm the stomach and increase blood flow to the entire body.
