CUSTOM HERBAL MEDICINE

As part of your herbal consultation, we'll help connect you to the herbs that are the best fit for your goals. We work with herbs in a variety of ways:

HERBAL TEAS

Our fully-stocked apothecary in Salt Lake City allows us to custom-formulate and blend herbal teas just for you! Rather than buying general tea blends at the store, these are crafted to honor your unique constitution and where you are at this time. Herbal teas are a safe, effective, and often times delicious way to bring herbal medicine into your life.

PATENT FORMULAS

We stock a large variety of traditional Chinese patent formulas to support every body system, function, and wellness goal. Patents come in the form of capsules, tablets, or small tea pills and are a convenient way to work with herbs anytime, anywhere. Patent formula recommendations may also be included in acupuncture sessions when appropriate.

TINCTURES

We handcraft all of our tinctures on site using the most vibrant organic herbs. Tinctures are concentrated liquid extracts of medicinal plants that are taken from a dropper. Tinctures can be placed directly on the tongue, mixed in water or juice, or even put into herbal tea. They're a convenient way to get full doses of herbal medicine that are easy to digest and quick to activate in the body.

COMPRESSES, POULTICES, & SOAKS

We work with many herbs in the form of warm, damp, topical application to help drive the herbs into the skin, muscles, and frame where they're needed most. From relaxing soaks to post-partum sitz baths, compresses for the skin and poultices for pain, we can custom formulate and craft these remedies just for you.

STEAMS

Because our herbs are all organic and pure, we can craft steams to support upper and deep respiratory support as well as steams for skin and pelvic floor wellness.
