Acupuncture Therapies

Houston Herbal Medicine

Traditional medicine often comes with a hefty supply of serious side effects. With herbal medicine, those become greatly reduced and virtually nonexistent. Herbal medicine tends to be much safer to use and less detrimental to your health in the long term. With the rising cost of prescription drugs, herbal medicine can be an affordable option to return to your natural state of health.

Typically, herbal medicine accompanies acupuncture. Acupuncture and herbs supplement each other nicely for fast results and quick relief of symptoms. It is important to ingest quality herbs free from heavy metals and other toxins. A formula can treat an acute symptom, such as a cold, and also a chronic disease associated with one of the organs, such as the kidneys. A unique thing about herbal formulas is they change as the disease changes and are modified to suit your unique constitution. There are short-term formulas and long-term formulas depending on the nature of the disease. See your Chinese medical practitioner to get a full diagnosis of your specific condition and be sure to inform them of any ill effects from herbs.
