Herbs can be great to provide a boost to our treatment plan. On occasion some of my patients prefer herbal treatment over acupuncture.
There are conditions where herbs have been historically more effective than acupuncture. For example we consider herbs more heavily with almost any kind of skin condition, like eczema, warts, rashes, etc.
I prefer to give herbs in the form of capsules - super simple. Tinctures, teas, powders, and topicals are also common methods of delivery. Herbal recommendations may be discussed during regular acupuncture appointments.
