Personalized Chinese herbal formulas, guided by Dr. Tsai at Advanced Acupuncture

What it is

Personalized Chinese herbal formulas, guided by Dr. Tsai

Traditional Chinese Medicine treats herbs the way it treats acupuncture points - matched to your individual pattern, not your diagnosis label alone. Two people with the same complaint may leave with two different formulas.

Dr. Tsai reviews your health history, pulse and tongue diagnostics, then builds a customized herbal formula aimed at the root cause - often alongside acupuncture, moxibustion or other therapies in your plan.

Custom herbal formulas, not off-the-shelf blends
100% natural, plant-based ingredients
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine

What is Chinese herbal medicine?
It is the use of natural, plant-based formulas - combinations of herbs matched to your individual pattern - to support your body's own healing process. A formula aims to:
  • Address the root cause behind your symptoms
  • Support digestive and immune function
  • Restore balance rather than mask a single complaint
Is herbal medicine safe? Will it interact with my medications?
Dr. Tsai reviews your full medication and health history before recommending any formula, and will flag any concerns rather than prescribe around them.
  • Formulas use natural, plant-based ingredients
  • Sourced with quality and consistency in mind
  • Always disclose current medications and supplements at your consultation
  • Never stop a prescribed medication without talking to your physician first
How long before I notice a difference?
It varies by person and condition, but many patients notice initial changes within 2-4 weeks of consistent use, with formulas adjusted at follow-up visits as your body responds.
What conditions can herbal medicine help with?
Chronic pain, allergies, digestive disorders, anxiety, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, skin issues and women's health concerns are among the patterns herbal formulas commonly address. See the full conditions we treat.
How is my formula created?
Dr. Tsai reviews your symptoms, health history, pulse and tongue diagnostics, then combines herbs suited to your specific pattern - adjusting the formula over time as your body changes.
Can herbal medicine be combined with acupuncture?
Yes - the two are commonly used together as part of one plan. Many patients take a custom formula alongside regular acupuncture visits for a more complete approach.
