Chinese Herbal Treatment
Understanding Chinese Herbal Therapy
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a centuries-old practice based on the concept of Qi, the vital life force that flows through the body. Health is believed to depend on the balance of yin and yang, complementary forces within the body. Any disruption to this balance can lead to illness. TCM treatments, including acupuncture and herbal medicine, aim to restore the balance between the body’s internal organs and external elements.
At Ashra Integrative Medicine, we specialize in providing Chinese Herbal treatment (CHM) as a core part of our holistic approach. CHM has a rich history, dating back to ancient times, and offers powerful, natural remedies for a wide range of health conditions, from fertility treatments to managing chronic pain and metabolic disorders. Whether through telehealth visits or during personalized sessions, we aim to assist you, so you can achieve optimal health using this ancient, time-tested therapy.

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.
