Herbal and Nutrition Counseling
This is for a 50-minute Telemedicine Session for Herb and Nutrition Counseling. We talk about any current issues you are having and we briefly discuss how internal imbalances can be realigned with certain herbs and certain foods. We talk about the best way to eat for your current body constitution, with the seasons, and where you might be able to find food in your area to support this new regimen. I will send you a tailored plan and a prescription from one of my pharmacy partners. I try not to be too strict and I try to work with you in a way that the plan feels easily maintained and sustainable.
Herbs and nutrition help to continue your treatment when you leave my office. Whereas a western perspective of nutrition is centered on nutritive value, eastern perspective also acknowledges that every food and herbal supplement we consume also contains energy. The energy of each food and herb can affect certain organs, meridians, emotions, and more. Each food and herb can be classified as warm or cold, tonifying or sedating, and they can work in tandem with acupuncture treatment to redirect Qi to move smoothly and in the right direction.
Chinese Medicine Formulas and Custom Formulas
For Chinese Medicine formulas, I prescribe from the following brands:
Evergreen Herbs
Five Flavors Herbs
Griffo Botanicals
Kamwo Herbs
Crane Herbs
Root & Branch PDX
I trust these brands for their reputations and high quality herbs. I also like the ability to customize formulas for your specific conditions and these companies give me the ability to be able to do that for you. I can prescribe in whichever form you feel most comfortable with taking - raw, granules, tinctures, or tea pill.
