Professional Herbalism: A Safer Alternative

Licensed acupuncturists and herbalists:

  • Study and prescribe herbs extensively

Patients with complicated health issues, such as those taking blood pressure medications, blood thinners, or fibroid medication, require careful consideration when prescribing herbs. A licensed herbalist ensures safe and effective treatment.
