Herbal and Nutritional Consultation
For those who live long-distance or who prefer to be treated with herbs and diet alone, we offer herbal consultations, which can take place in person or by phone. They include a comprehensive medical intake, pulse and tongue diagnosis, and a recommended treatment plan that includes lifestyle and dietary advice in addition to the herbal treatment protocol.

Herbal consultations are performed by Hillary Thing, licensed acupuncturist and nationally certified herbalist (NCCAOM), who has over 10 years of clinical experience in treating people with herbs. Most often, Hillary creates a formula that is specific to the patient's individual needs at that particular time. The formula is then modified as symptoms begin to clear or other changes occur.

Herbs can be used to treat specific illnesses or symptoms, and they can be used to promote health, to cleanse, or to boost the functioning of a particular organ system. There are many ways to take herbs, including as a tea, tincture, granule, or pill. Depending on the goals of treatment, time constraints, and a person's digestive system function, we can help you decide what's the best form for you.

We have over 400 Chinese and Western herbs in stock at our herbal apothecary. Some of these herbs we grow or wild-harvest ourselves. Others are purchased from organic herb growers or distributors. Our priority is always to carry the highest-quality, cleanest, and most local herbs available. These herbs are available for purchase by the ounce. Please contact us if you would like a price list.

We offer a full line of herbal tinctures, both single herbs and formulas, including a line of Classical Chinese formulas. In addition, we offer a delicious line of herbal teas that are designed for drinking on a daily basis, and are part and parcel of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Feel free to call or email us with your questions, to place an order, or to make an appointment.
