CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
A formula chosen for you, not just for a diagnosis.
Personalized Chinese herbal medicine guided by your pulse, tongue, health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and constitutional tendencies.
Rooted in Classical Chinese Medicine
Treatment is individualized and refined as your presentation changes over time.
A CLASSICAL, INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH
Understanding the person behind the symptoms
Chinese herbal medicine is not simply a matter of matching one herb or one formula to one symptom. Two people with the same medical diagnosis may show very different patterns and therefore require different treatment strategies.
Dr. Haizhen Yang begins by looking at the whole clinical picture. Detailed pulse diagnosis, tongue analysis, health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and constitutional tendencies are considered together to understand what may be contributing to the present imbalance.
When appropriate, prenatal constitutional tendencies may also be explored through birth-chart analysis as an additional traditional framework for understanding long-term patterns and preventive wellness needs.
“The goal is not to prescribe a standard formula for a label. The goal is to understand the pattern your body is expressing now, and to treat accordingly.”
Pulse diagnosis
Used to identify clinically relevant patterns and guide further questioning and assessment.
Tongue analysis
Helps provide additional information about the body’s current functional state.
History + constitutional assessment
Symptoms, medical history, diet, lifestyle, stress, and long-term tendencies are considered together.
Ongoing refinement
Formulas may be adjusted as symptoms, tongue, pulse, and overall presentation change.
