herbal medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine has a rich history of using herbs to support treatment. Herb plants produce and contain a variety of chemical substances that act upon the body to treat numerous illnesses and to assist bodily functions.

Herbal medicine is the substantial counterpart to the energetic medicine of acupuncture. Many conditions can greatly benefit from the use of Chinese herbal therapies alone, or with acupuncture. A well- defined herbal pharmacopoeia has been developed and refined since ancient times. Modern research has proven that herbs are powerful medicine and can have safe, healing effects when properly applied by a licensed herbalist.

At Double Happiness Health, patients are carefully assessed in a holistic manner. Our herbal prescriptions are tailored to each individual patient, and change along with the patient’s changing condition. We are always mindful of the patient’s health conditions, medications and supplements, as well as any herb-drug interactions and contraindications. Because we have a healthy respect for Western medicine and because our first concern is for your best care, we will happily communicate and work closely with your physician when it comes to your healthcare and supplements.

A combination of ancient texts, clinical experience with hundreds of patients, and research guides our selection of herbs used to treat health conditions. Herbal prescriptions are available in loose tea, powder, and pill form depending upon individual patient needs and preferences. We carry hundreds of pharmaceutical-grade single herbs and formulas, which enables us to create customized formulas for individuals. Double Happiness Health carefully selects herb suppliers that adhere to strict production and quality assurance standards.

“For years I’ve struggled with irregular, painful menstrual cycles, PMS, migraines and digestive issues. Under Christine’s care of acupuncture, individually formulated Chinese herbs and a fabulous massage, I feel great! My cycles are regulated and nearly painless, my PMS has calmed down and my digestive issues have never been better. Additionally, she successfully helped me avoid the cold/flu season with Chinese herbs. Thanks for helping me get my health back!”
