Herbal Medicine
Custom-formulated, time-tested, prescribed with care.
Korean herbal medicine, 한약, is the inside half of what we do. Treatments you take home, formulated to your pattern, prepared by partner pharmacies and shipped or dispensed at the clinic.
Acupuncture moves what's already in the body. Herbs add what's missing, or clear what's stuck. For chronic and constitutional patterns, sleep, digestion, hormones, energy, herbal medicine is often where the real shift happens.
Our director and senior practitioners hold Ph.D. and licensed Herbalist credentials in Traditional Korean Medicine. Every prescription is patient-specific. We don't sell pre-made products you could find at a health-food store.

to plan.
We don't surprise you. Every patient gets the same four-beat rhythm, even when the treatment inside it changes session to session.
- 01Pattern consultation30–45 min with a licensed herbalist. Pulse, tongue, history. We diagnose by pattern, not by symptom alone.
- 02PrescriptionA formula written for you, granules, decoction, or pill form depending on lifestyle. Most courses run 2–4 weeks.
- 03Re-checkWe follow up at 2 weeks and adjust the formula as your body changes.
- 04IntegrationHerbs often pair with acupuncture. We'll tell you when they don't, including with prescription medications.
Quietly, slowly,
and on time.
We take care with each patient. The first treatment includes a consultation and assessment, and appointments end when the work is complete rather than when the timer runs out.
One practitioner, start to finish. If you’ve ever felt rushed through treatment elsewhere, you’ll notice the difference within the first ten minutes here.
Honest fees,
no add-ons.
Prices listed are before tax. Most extended health plans can be directly billed for the full amount. ICBC claimants pay very little out of pocket.
