Herbal Medicine

한약

Custom-formulated, time-tested, prescribed with care.

Essence · 本

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.

What to expect

From first visit
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.

  1. 01
    Pattern consultation
    30–45 min with a licensed herbalist. Pulse, tongue, history. We diagnose by pattern, not by symptom alone.
  2. 02
    Prescription
    A formula written for you — granules, decoction, or pill form depending on lifestyle. Most courses run 2–4 weeks.
  3. 03
    Re-check
    We follow up at 2 weeks. Formulas are living documents — we adjust as your body changes.
  4. 04
    Integration
    Herbs often pair with acupuncture. We'll tell you when they don't — including with prescription medications.

How we work

Quietly, slowly,
and on time.

Care is a craft, not a transaction. We care for each patient with depth and genuine attention. The first treatment includes a complimentary consultation and assessment. Appointments end when the work is complete, not when the timer runs out.

One practitioner. One pair of hands. One thread of attention. If you’ve ever felt rushed through treatment elsewhere, you’ll notice the difference within the first ten minutes here.

One practitioner per visit · no rotating handoffs
Bilingual care — English & 한국어
Direct billing to extended health · ICBC · MSP
Coordinated care plans across all the other services we provide
Pricing · 가격

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.

Every formula follows a careful pattern diagnosis — we take the time to get it right before anything is prescribed. Same-day consultations are often available. Please call us if you can't find a time slot online — we keep a few reserved.
