One of the things I love most about Chinese Herbal Medicine is the simple beauty of the formulations. Perfected over thousands of years, on millions (billions!) of people, the ingredients are a beautiful piece of music, each supporting, balancing, enhancing one another for the greatest effect on your body and the most minimal side effects 🌿
This is Gui Zhi jia Ge Gen tang. A beautiful formula to nourish the blood, regulate the ying and Wei (the surface qi, that protects your body from invasion of pathogens). It’s wonderful for the stiff neck that comes with being sick, or on your period, or stressed, or in a cold dry environment (or many other causes!) This formula is an example of Chinese herbal elegance, it’s often very fast acting, and is great for those who go out without a scarf on in the Autumn! 🧣🍁

Chinese herbs work by addressing imbalance in the body. They’ll warm you when you’re cold, cool any heat, nourish you when you’re run down, or help things get moving when you’re stuck.
I often use herbal formulas alongside acupuncture, and they make such a beautiful treatment combination. Acupuncture helps shift things in the moment, and herbs keep that momentum going between sessions. Treatment supporting you gently, day by day.
When the right formula meets the right person, change can be fast and deeply felt. It’s so wonderful to see people sleep better, digest more easily, have pain free periods, better pregnancies and births, feel calmer, lighter, more content, and more themselves often in a much shorter time frame than with just acupuncture alone.
Most often, your formula will be as unique as you. Chinese herbal formulas aren’t one-size-fits-all. Each one is a carefully balanced blend, like a little herbal symphony, working together to support you in the most thoughtful, harmonious way. 🌿🌸🐚🍄🟫🌾💚
