Herbal Therapy: A Natural, Time‑Tested Approach to Healing and Balance

Herbal therapy has been an essential part of healing traditions for thousands of years, and it remains a powerful tool in modern holistic medicine. At The Center for the Healing Arts, herbal medicine is viewed as an integral part of restoring balance, supporting the body’s natural healing processes, and addressing the root causes of illness — not just the symptoms.

Our practitioners offer a wide range of high‑quality herbal formulas to complement your treatment plan. Kim is certified as a diplomate by the NCCAOM (National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) in Chinese Herbal Therapy, ensuring that every formula is chosen with expertise, safety, and precision.

Why Herbal Therapy Matters

Chinese herbal medicine is deeply rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where herbs are combined into formulas that work synergistically to support the body. Unlike Western herbalism, which often uses single herbs, Chinese herbal formulas are carefully crafted blends designed to:

• Tonify areas of deficiency

• Calm areas of excess

• Support specific organ systems

• Balance the effects of stronger herbs

• Harmonize the body as a whole

This makes herbal therapy especially effective for complex or chronic conditions where multiple systems need support.

Conditions That Respond Well to Herbal Therapy

Many conditions respond more favorably to herbs — or to a combination of herbs and acupuncture — than to acupuncture alone. Herbal therapy can be particularly helpful for:

• Hormonal imbalances (PMS, hot flashes, night sweats, irregular bleeding)

• Digestive issues such as IBS or leaky gut

• Skin conditions

• Various infections

• Fatigue and low energy

• Stress and emotional imbalance

• Immune support during seasonal changes

Herbal formulas can be used short‑term for acute issues or long‑term to strengthen the body and maintain balance.

Personalized Herbal Recommendations

Every person’s body and health story are unique, which is why herbal therapy at The Center for the Healing Arts is always customized. Your practitioner will consider:

• Your symptoms and overall constitution

• The severity and duration of your condition

• Your preferences (pills, powders, tinctures, teas)

• Any prescription medications you’re taking

• Your treatment goals and lifestyle

This ensures that your herbal formula is safe, effective, and aligned with your body’s needs. Herbal therapy may be recommended on its own or combined with acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, or lifestyle guidance for a more comprehensive approach.
