Custom Formulas

To practice Chinese medicine in the West, practioners here have to be a better than the typical doctor in China. This is because most Western patients seeking treatment from Chinese medical practitioners suffer from chronic, “difficult to treat, knotty diseases.” Such patients usually manifest at least three patterns simultaneously, and often five, six or seven. These patients typically manifest combinations of vacuity and repletion, hot and cold, and require supplementing and attacking at the same time.

Unfortunately, many of the classical formulas currently available in ready-made or pill form do not address such complicated patterns. Although these classical formulas are the basis of every Chinese herbalist’s education, in real-life practice, they are often less than a perfect match.

A personalized prescription can be designed specifically for you of Chinese herbal formulas in pill or powder form. They are meant to match the patterns of the complex, “difficult to treat” cases. These formulas may either be used separately or in combination with other, currently available Chinese “ready-made” medicines.

All formulas are designed with consideration of one’s Chinese Medical Diagnosis and of one’s age, sex, prescription medications, diet, etc.
