Herbal Medicine for Holistic Healing
Clinical Herbalist Specializing in Women's Health, Fertility and Digestive Issues
Herbal Medicine
At Michelle Malloy Acupuncture and Wellness, we use herbal medicine as a holistic tool to help each patient on their wellness and healing journey, prescribing specific herbs for the patient’s health needs.
Herbal medicine involves using plants or plant extracts for therapeutic purposes. It differs from conventional medicine in that it focuses on natural remedies and holistic approaches to healing, whereas conventional medicine often relies on synthetic drugs and surgical interventions.
Licensed Acupuncturists have years of extensive training on all the herbs in the Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacopeia and have learned how and when to use specific herbs, how to mix herbs together in effective formulas and select the most effective dosages. Due to all of this training, licensed acupuncturists have access to herbs that are not available to the general public.
Herbal Medicine and a Holistic Approach
As acupuncturists, we are looking at the symptoms our patients present with, but also the root cause of the symptoms and the patient’s constitution or genetics that came from birth. Looking at medicine from this way, we can effectively balance and heal the body long term.
Herbal medicine complements any acupuncture treatment by continuing to correct, nourish and heal any current and constitutional imbalances on a daily basis. Herbal medicines contain active compounds that interact with the body's systems that can have mechanisms of action, such as reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, or supporting organ function.
