Chinese Herbal Medicine & Herbalist Services in Torrance
Voted South Bay's Best Acupuncture 2025
Daily Breeze / Beach Reporter Readers' Choice Awards
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the most powerful and least understood branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I prescribe personalized herbal formulas based on your unique health patterns — not off-the-shelf supplements, but carefully selected herbs tailored to what your body needs right now.
Herbal medicine works beautifully alongside acupuncture. While acupuncture addresses your body's energy and nervous system during our sessions, herbal formulas continue working between appointments — supporting digestion, calming anxiety, balancing hormones, boosting immunity, and promoting recovery around the clock.
How Herbal Medicine Works at TAP
During your consultation, I assess your health through TCM diagnosis, including tongue and pulse assessment. Based on this evaluation, I may recommend a custom herbal formula. I'll explain exactly what each herb does, how to take it, and what to expect. I only use high-quality, tested herbal products.
Aromatherapy with doTERRA Essential Oils
I also integrate therapeutic-grade doTERRA essential oils into treatment sessions. Aromatherapy enhances relaxation, reduces stress, and supports emotional balance. Whether diffused during your acupuncture session or applied topically, essential oils add another dimension to your healing experience.
Conditions Supported by Herbal Medicine
Digestive disorders (IBS, acid reflux, bloating), hormonal imbalances, menstrual irregularities, menopausal symptoms, insomnia and sleep issues, anxiety and stress, immune support, seasonal allergies, skin conditions, fatigue and low energy, and more.
