Therapy - Medicinal Herb Treatment

In recent years, natural herbs become very popular to self-treat many conditions, and they are available in health food stores or on the internet. However, many health care professionals have concern about safety, effectiveness, and potential misuse of herbal products, especially when self-prescribed. The California Acupuncture Board strongly recommends consulting an acupuncturist before beginning any herbal therapy.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE

How effective the herbal therapy is depends on the severity and nature of the condition being treated. It is important to inform us of all the products you are currently taking (drugs, herbs, other supplements) so they can monitor effectiveness, ensure safety from adverse reactions, and watch for possible interactions. If you have an allergic reaction to any medicines, let us know.

STANDARDIZATION OF HERBS

When it comes to choosing an herbal medicine for our practice, effectiveness and safety is of the utmost importance. The patent Asian medicines have been proven highly effective and have been safely used in the United States for more than a decade.
