Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine has been practiced for thousands of years and is a powerful remedy for treating the internal systems of the body. Where acupuncture thrives at regulating the functions of your body, herbal medicine supplements all the physiological building blocks necessary for this function. Together they provide an effective one-two punch. There are hundreds of herbs in the Chinese herbal system. These herbs are meticulously combined into formulas that the patient then ingests as a tea or in pill form after proper decoction. Blue Spruce Acupuncture provides pre-decocted granular formulas that are easy to make (just add water!), and while they don’t always taste great, they are highly effective. Herbal medicine can boost your energy, supplement blood and fluids in the system, alleviate pain, regulate your immune system, and enhance your mood. Best of all, they come without the risks and serious side effects common in the pharmaceutical world. Herbal consultation is included in your appointment as needed. Typically, a one-week formula will cost $25-$35.
