Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is an important part of a patient’s treatment plan and helps us make progress faster. Misty has seen the best patient compliance and efficacy with tinctures, which she has available for purchase at the clinic.

Herbal tinctures* are a concentrated form of Chinese medicine herbal formulas and contain anywhere from 4 herbs to as many as 30. Herbs are taken orally and can begin working almost immediately. Usually, an ounce of herbs will last a patient for 1 week, and we can use them to impact everything from digestion and sleep, to fertility and headaches.

For patients who live outside of Central Texas, Misty works with a local herbal pharmacy to have your herbs mailed directly to you. For these patients, herbs are dispensed in powder form. They ship well and are extremely effective, and easy to consume as patients mix the powder with hot water to form a tea which they drink twice a day.

Reach out to Misty directly if you’re not interested in acupuncture, but would like to set up an herbal consultation.

*Herbal Tinctures do contain some alcohol, as that’s used to remove some of the constituents from the herbs. An ounce of tincture contains roughly 0.5 oz. of alcohol, but this can be evaporated in hot water if desired.
