Creating a Chinese Herbal Formula

Chinese herbalists create personalized formulas for each patient based on their unique set of conditions and needs. This is the most valuable benefit of taking an herbal formula.

Herbal formulas are typically taken two to three times per day.

Herbal formulas can be a valuable addition to your healthcare routine. They can help to improve your overall health and well-being, and they can also be used to treat specific conditions.

Bulk Herbs

The Purest Form of Chinese Herbal Tea

Raw or bulk herbs are the harvested and dried parts of the plants, minerals or animal parts.**  Raw herbs are simmered in water and then strained or decocted into an herbal tea. 

Granular Herbs

Instant Herbal Tea

Granular herbs are dried, ground, and coated with starch to create a fine powder. They are similar to instant coffee in terms of their convenience and ease of use. 

Patent Herbs


Convenient and Effective

Patent herbal medicines are pre-made herbal medicines that require no preparation. They come in a variety of forms, including pills, tinctures, powders, and suspensions. Patent herbal medicines are often used to treat common patient needs and issues.


**Animal products can be replaced with comparable herbs at the patient's request.
