It has been practiced for thousands of years and remains widely used today.CHM is usually customized based on an individual’s body constitution and health condition. Herbal formulas come in various forms, including teas, powders, capsules, tinctures and topicals (patches, creams, liniments).

Many traditional formulas are available in patent form (pre made) and all formulas can be customized.  When considering herbs as part of a treatment plan, multiple factors are evaluated including:current medications, lifestyle,  allergies and other supplements.
