SERVICES - CUSTOM CHINESE HERBAL FORMULAS ................................................................................................... Chinese herbal formulas are a vital component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The effectiveness of these customized herbal formulas is directly correlated with the practitioners’ ability to prescribe the correct combination based on the correct pattern diagnosis. Custom blending sets these formulas apart from over-the-counter herbs. The formulas are centered around Chinese Herbology, a science based upon 5000 years of clinical experience and study. 
The herbs Dr. Lin uses are concentrated from the raw Chinese herbs. They are 100% natural, without any preservatives, and are grown in China. They are safe when prescribed by a skilled TCM practitioner. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs work together to drive the healing process. Acupuncture stimulates specific points to release blocked energy and restore its flow while the herbs work at a cellular level. Each formula usually contains 5 to 15 different components. A “Principal” herb (or herbs) addresses the root of the problem. “Minister” herbs enhance the effects of the principal herbs, and “adjunct” herbs make the potion less harsh. “Neutralizer” herbs are added to help the herbs enhance and act smoothly with each other. There are approximately 250 common Chinese herbs used in TCM and Dr. Lin’s average prescription consists of 8 different herbs. Dr. Lin’s dual training in Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with her twenty years of experience, enables her to accurately prescribe the correct combination for each patient. |
