Herbal medicine is one of the oldest and most widely used medical systems in the world. At its core, it’s about using plant-based formulas to support the body’s ability to regulate, repair, and restore balance.

At Chrystal Clinic, herbal medicine is prescribed intentionally, based on your specific constitution, symptoms, and health goals.

Chinese herbal medicine uses a vast library of hundreds of medicinal herbs. Formulas are thoughtfully designed using multiple herbs that work together to target symptoms while supporting the whole system. This approach allows treatment to be customized and adjusted as your body responds - rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all supplement.

Welcome to our herbal pharmacy.

    • Stress, anxiety, and sleep issues

    • Digestive health and gut support

    • Hormonal balance (PMS, menopause, cycle irregularities)

    • Immune support and recovery

    • Fatigue, burnout, and low energy

    • Chronic inflammation and pain

    Herbs are selected based on patterns, not just diagnoses.

  • Herbal formulas work by supporting the body’s regulatory systems i.e. nervous, digestive, hormonal, and immune.

    Rather than forcing a single outcome, herbs help the body adapt, rebalance, and recover over time.

    Most formulas combine multiple herbs to:

    • Improve circulation and nutrient delivery

    • Calm or stimulate the nervous system as needed

    • Support detoxification and digestion

    • Reduce inflammation at the source

  • Not all herbs are created equal.
    We use professional-grade formulas and tailor recommendations based on your symptoms, constitution, and response to treatment.

    Two people with the same condition may receive entirely different formulas.

    Herbal medicine is also prescribed as a finite course of treatment for specific outcomes, whereas supplements are taken indefinitely to help support specific functions.

  • Acupuncture initiates change.
    Herbal medicine helps maintain and deepen those effects between visits.

    Together, they:

    • Speed up progress

    • Reduce symptom rebound

    • Support longer-term results

  • Herbal medicine may be a good fit if you:

    • Prefer addressing root causes

    • Have chronic or stress-related symptoms

    • Want a natural complement to acupuncture

  • Herbal medicine begins with a focused consultation to assess your symptoms, health history, and treatment goals. When appropriate, your practitioner may recommend herbal support as part of your care plan.

    Formulas are custom-designed using Chinese herbal medicine and may be adjusted over time as your body responds. Herbal medicine is typically used as a short-term or supportive tool, not a lifelong prescription.

  • Herbal medicine is offered as an optional add-on to care.

    • A paid herbal consultation is required to design a formula

    • Herbs are priced separately based on the specific formula and duration

    • Your practitioner will discuss cost and appropriateness before prescribing

    Herbal support is recommended only when it meaningfully supports your treatment goals.
