Chinese Herbal Treatment
What is Chinese Herbal Therapy?
Chinese Herbal Medicine is a foundational part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a healing system that has been practiced for thousands of years. Rooted in the understanding that true health reflects balance—between yin and yang, the organ systems, and the flow of Qi (vital energy)—herbal therapy gently works to restore harmony within the body.
At Ashra Integrative Medicine, Chinese Herbal Medicine is a key component of our holistic approach to wellness. We use trusted, high-quality herbal formulas made from natural herbs that have been time-tested for their safety and effectiveness. These remedies work synergistically to support organ function, strengthen immunity, reduce inflammation, and promote overall vitality, while minimizing side effects commonly associated with pharmaceuticals.
Every formula is chosen to match your unique constitution, current health concerns, and lifestyle, whether we meet in person or through a telehealth session. Our goal is to guide your body back to a state of balance, helping you address hormonal or reproductive imbalances, chronic pain, fatigue, digestive concerns, metabolic issues, and other chronic conditions.
By combining ancient wisdom with modern knowledge, we provide personalized care that supports your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. At Ashra Integrative Medicine, we are honored to help you cultivate wellness from the inside out.
Health Problems We Address With Chinese Herbal Medicines
Dysmenorrhea Treatment
Tao Hong Si Wu Tang is a popular Chinese herbal formula often used to treat dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation). This formula is known for promoting blood circulation and easing blood stasis, often the root cause of menstrual cramps. The herbs in Tao Hong Si Wu Tang, including angelica and peony root, help to nourish the blood, reduce inflammation, and ease pain, providing effective relief from menstrual discomfort and improving overall reproductive health.
Anti-aging
Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) offers a wide range of anti-aging benefits. Many Chinese herbs, such as goji berries, ginseng, and astragalus, are rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body from oxidative stress and free radical damage, two key factors in aging. These herbs increase skin elasticity, stimulate energy, and improve overall vitality. Regular use of anti-aging herbal formulas can promote longevity, improve skin health, and support the body’s natural ability to resist aging.
Diabetic neuropathies
Diabetic neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes, affects the nerves and causes pain, numbness, and discomfort, especially in the limbs. CHM herbs Rehmannia and Astragalus are effective treatments for diabetic neuropathy as they improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and nourish the nerves.
PCOS
Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) has shown promising results in helping manage Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) by positively affecting glucolipid metabolism. It improves key metabolic markers in women with PCOS, such as fasting insulin, plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
Infertility
Bu Shen Tian Jing, a traditional Chinese herbal formula, is often used to improve fertility, particularly in women with PCOS undergoing IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) treatment. This formula strengthens kidney essence and nourishes the reproductive system, which is crucial for improving the chances of conception in IVF. Studies suggest that combining Bu Shen Tian Jing with IVF treatment can improve ovarian function, enhance egg quality, and boost overall IVF success rates, especially for women with PCOS.
