Chinese Herbal Medicine
Tailored herbal formulas from registered practitioners, traditionally used to support balance across body systems.
Chinese herbal medicine draws on centuries of wisdom to support your body between and alongside treatments. After understanding what's going on for you, we may prescribe a tailored herbal formula to help restore balance and support specific systems, digestion, sleep, energy, women's health and more.
Classical herbalism, carefully prescribed
Alastair has undertaken advanced study in classical herbalism, so formulas are chosen thoughtfully for you, not off a shelf. We'll explain how to take them and what to expect.
Questions
Before you book.
How are the herbs taken?
Depending on the formula, as granules, tablets or raw herbs to prepare. We'll walk you through exactly how and when.
Are Chinese herbs safe with my medications?
Always tell us what you're taking. We prescribe carefully and will flag anything to discuss with your GP.
Do I need herbs as well as acupuncture?
Not necessarily, herbs are one option we may suggest when they'll genuinely help. Acupuncture stands on its own too.
