HERBAL MEDICINE



Herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years as a more gentle and healthier alternative to pharmaceuticals. Over time, the effectiveness of herbal medicine has been proven through scientific research and evaluation in studies both worldwide and in the US.

Chinese medicine places primary emphasis on diet 
and dietary changes for all health conditions. Your 
visit to the Joyful Life Acupuncture clinic will help you
make positive dietary changes to benefit your health 
and well being, specific to your constitutional type and physiology. Symptom analysis and lab tests may be used to help identify specific nutritional imbalances and deficiencies.

With over 20 years of Western Herbology, and Western Diet and Nutrition study and experience, patients are given valuable tools towards optimal health and are provided recommendations of dietary supplements such as vitamins and minerals, as well as western herbs and Chinese Herbal formulas best suited to restore health and well being and prevent future illness or imbalance.


We have researched the best and cleanest brands of both Western & Chinese herb sources, and recommend high quality CGMP tested products which are free of pesticides and other contaminants. Organic sources are used whenever possible. Chinese herbs are of the highest quality and many formulations are manufactured in the United Sates.
