HERBAL MEDICINE AND CBD
Ancient Eastern, Herbal Medicine (also known as Oriental Medicine) is
a very important adjunct component of healing with Acupuncture. Herbal Medicine is considered to be the “substance” part of this healthcare modality (while Acupuncture is considered to be the “energetic” component). Just as pharmaceuticals are the “drugs” in Western medicine, Herbs are prescribed (when needed) alongside Acupuncture. While both Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine do work exquisitely by themselves, they assist each other and can help make the other more effective when used
together

Becky also carries 100% ORGANIC CBD oil, which is completely legal and without any psychoactive properties. CBD has proven to be very effective for a wide variety of conditions. Please ask if you have any questions about CBD
​
After an Acupuncture session, you will be asked if you would like to take some form of Herbal prescription home with you (if needed). This will either be in the form of a small pill, or a bottle of liquid tincture, or CBD oil, or a mix of raw herbs that you boil into a tea to drink. Instructions will be given for each different type of prescription. And often, a week’s-worth of Herbal Medicine will range from $10-$30, depending on the dosages

For those who are not interested in Acupuncture, Herbal consultations are available. Herbs are a wonderful way to experience this healing modality without receiving the needling. A 1st-time Herbal Consultation lasts one hour. A follow-up Herbal Consultation lasts 30 minutes. Follow-up Consultations can be done over the phone, in the case that you are on-the-go and simply need a refill or a slight adjustments to your prescription. Just as with any 1st-time visit to the office, you will be asked to fill out paperwork. Becky will also need to examine your pulses and tongue, so 1st-time Herbal Consultations will need to occur in the office
