Did you know?

  • One of the first significant herbal texts is said to be written by the mythical "Divine Husbandman". In addition to introducing agriculture and animal husbandry, he also supposedly tasted all the herbs in the book to determine their properties!
  • After 1949, the Chinese government especially encouraged the use of Chinese herbs as a cost-effective health care tool.

Herbal Formulas - Natural and Safe

Acupuncture For Life is now proud to offer two herbal options for to better serve our patients.  We would be happy to discuss them with you in more detail when you come in for treatment so you can decide which will work better for you!  Remember, each individual is different, so be sure to get advice from a licensed acupuncturist on which specific formula fits your needs. It is also important to inform your acupuncturist of any medications and / or supplements you are currently taking.

Herbal Formulas in Pill Form

All of the herbal formulas on our shelves meet or exceed GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, so you can be assured that you can trust their purity and quality.
 
Convenience
 
In this day and age, you just don't have the time to spend preparing raw herbs for consumption. Fortunately, East and West have come together to create "scientific herbal formulas", putting herbs into pill form. No more boiling herbs for hours each day! No more unpleasant odor diffusing throughout the house!
 
For Aches, Pains, and So Much More
 
There is no single "headache" formula or "back pain" formula. Like acupuncture, the aim of herbal formulas is to balance out the underlying condition that is causing you illness or discomfort, thus allowing herbal formulas to treat a broad range of complaints. Only your licensed acupuncturist can determine the formula that is best for you. And you will need to be patient. Your body needs time to rebalance itself.
 
We Care About You
 
Your acupuncturist will spend a good deal of time asking you how you feel. We need to know your entire state of being before we begin treatment. This means your physical state, what treatments you are currently undergoing, as well as your mental and emotional state.
 
Call (832) 660-5281 to schedule your appointment today, and start getting your body back to balance.
