Traditional Chinese Medicine is an ancient system of health that’s been used for thousands of years that will not only evaluate your illness but also your well-being. Our skilled herbalists in Bloomfield Hills will create a custom made herbal formula that is tailored to address all your health concerns.
What is Herbal Medicine?
Chinese herbs are often used in conjunction with acupuncture to support the treatment goals. Herbs are given in a formula. These formulas are classical combination of herbs used to treat a specific Chinese medical diagnosis. The herbalists will tailor the formula to the individual’s specific needs by adding or subtracting herbs.
Chinese herbs do not include herbs like St. Johns wart, which is a western herb. Popular Chinese herbs include Ginseng and ginger, while most of our herbs most people have never heard of such as Dang Gui or Fu Ling. These herbs can be taken many ways, as a tincture which is dissolved in alcohol or in granule form which is a powder form that is dissolved in water.
How Does herbal Medicine work?
Chinese herbal medicine combines herbs to create multiple bioactive components that affect the body in various ways. Therefore, herbal formulas powerfully act on the body like pharmaceutical drugs do. Yet, they have weaker pharmaceutical qualities than medication does and take more time to build up in the body’s system. This means that Chinese herbs take longer to affect the body than medication does. However, different herbal formulas affect the body at different rates, for chronic research shows that Chinese herbal medicine has therapeutic benefits for complex diseases such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. Herbs are not always safe so please see a trained herbalist. Our herbalists in Bloomfield Hills are trained to dispense safe herbs from a trusted source, know drug/herb interaction, counter herb interactions you may have, and properly dose for your weight and height.

Alyssa Cebulski
I have been seeing Dr. Serena now for about 6 months and she has helped me with my migraines and digestive issues. As a dancer I have also have had multiple muscle pins that she has relieved quickly. Not only does she care for my well being but she also care for my career. I am so blessed I have found an acupuncturist that has been so beneficial. Also, cupping is magical! Thank you Dr. Serena!
