Chinese Herbs

Chinese herbs consist of almost anything natural from the earth from roots, to animal parts to minerals. Most herbs used are of plant origin. An herbal formula aims to get to the root of a problem and an herbalist and may fashion a custom formula that consists of anywhere between 1 and upwards of 20 herbs for each patient. The herbs have Chinese medicinal properties as individuals and assume different properties when combined with other herbs. Each formula is modified for the specific needs of the patient during that stage of the illness. As the condition changes and improves, the herbal prescription will be modified until the desired health outcome is achieved.

At Red Aspen Herbs & Acupuncture, raw, granular, or a patent may be prescribed. In cases of pain or physical trauma, a topical may also be incorporated.
