Chinese Herbology

Enhance your Wellness program with Chinese Herbs!

Amityville Wellness stocks a full Chinese Herbal pharmacy of over 300 granule herbs. Chinese herbal medicine is the most highly developed and most commonly used system of herbal medicine in the world. It can be used independently or together with acupuncture to treat a wide variety of health conditions. Herbs are given in standard combinations or formulas of approximately 4 – 15 herbs and are prescribed based on TCM pattern diagnosis.

Herbs are combined to:

  • Enhance the effects of similarly acting herbs
  • Moderate or balance the effects of other herbs in the formula
  • Treat multiple symptom patterns
  • Treat both symptom and constitutional patterns simultaneously
Herbs are from reputable suppliers who test for insecticides and heavy metals. Research and vast anecdotal evidence suggest that Chinese herbs may be safely combined with most western medication. You should inform your practitioner if you have high blood pressure, clotting disorders, or may be pregnant.
