Herbs
Chinese herbs are part of a complete system of health care that has been developed and refined over many centuries. Eileen Zegar combines the use of traditional Chinese herbal treatments with Acupuncture and nutritional guidance to help her patients feel better and live longer.
Before taking Chinese herbs, a patient undergoes a complete assessment and diagnosis. Then appropriate herbs are selected to treat the individual patient’s specific health issues.
With this individualized diagnosis, Chinese Herbal Medicine becomes a valuable tool for both maintaining your health and treating disease.
LOW RISK OF SIDE EFFECTS
In treatment, emphasis is placed on the safe administration of herbs while avoiding the risk of drug interaction. One of the most appealing qualities of Chinese herbal therapy is the low risk of adverse reactions or side effects, especially when compared to pharmaceutical drugs. We only dispense herbal formulas manufactured in the United States.
