Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbs have also shown to assist fertility and gynecological issues since as early as 476 BC in China. Your practitioner can prescribe a herbal formula that is precisely designed for your condition at any given time. We supply herbs in pill form, granules and raw, which can then be cooked and prepared at home. These herbs are highly effective in treating numerous disorders, including infertility and gynecological issues.

Whether you have a physical ailment or experiencing mental or physical tension, these treatments will leave you feeling renewed. Our practitioners also specialize in pregnancy massage, so you can safely enjoy the benefits of improved circulation and tension relief.
