What is it.

Chinese Herbal Medicine, along with acupuncture has been used for more than 2,000 years to help support the body’s mechanisms. Using observational research, individuals over thousands of years have refined how plant medicine works for the body. More recently, western science has begun researching many of these herbs and formulas to support what we have known for centuries - the benefit of Chinese medicine. Modern research into herbal medicine has ranged from type 2 diabetes, weightloss, fertility support, and even covid-19.

Traditionally it comes in three forms, raw herbal form, granulated (powder-like), and pill form. Here at Freddys we utilise pill form both for its efficacy and to keep in line with our philosophy of providing affordable services.

What can it do for me.

In Chinese Medicine we see everyone as an individual. It is because of this Chinese Medicine has many tools we use, from acupuncture, to gua sha, cupping, heat therapy, to Chinese herbal medicine, food therapy and movement. As we support the belief of individuality we have begun the herbal dispensary to cater for what health means to you, and have the ability to tailor herbal formulas to aid in you achieving optimal wellbeing.

How can I try some herbs.

Currently, we provide a herbal consult inclusive within our acupuncture consult. During the treatment we will ascertain a diagnosis by asking a series of questions, looking at your tongue, feeling your pulse, and listening. From there we will formulate both an acupuncture and herbal prescription most suitable for you. After that we encourage you to proceed with a follow-up consultation so we can adapt the formula as needed.
