Herbal Medicine
Professional-grade Chinese herbal formulas prescribed by a Master of Herbology — tailored precisely to your individual pattern and health goals.
The Power of Plants
Chinese Herbal Medicine at Pure
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive botanical healing systems in the world, refined over more than 2,500 years of clinical practice. Unlike single-herb supplements, traditional Chinese formulas combine multiple herbs in precise ratios — each ingredient working synergistically to address your specific pattern of imbalance while minimizing side effects.
At Pure Holistic Health Clinic, Dr. Rebecca Chrestman draws on her Master of Herbology and Doctor of Oriental Medicine credentials to prescribe herbal formulas with the same precision and depth she brings to acupuncture. Every formula is selected or custom-blended based on your individual TCM diagnosis — not a generic symptom checklist.
We carry only professional-grade products from rigorously tested suppliers, ensuring purity, potency, and safety in every formula we dispense.
"Herbal medicine extends the healing work of acupuncture into every day between sessions. The right formula, prescribed for the right pattern, can accelerate results dramatically — and address conditions that needles alone cannot fully reach."
— Dr. Rebecca Chrestman, DOM, L.Ac.

Quality You Can Trust
Why Professional-Grade Matters
Purity & Potency Testing
Every product we carry is third-party tested for heavy metals, pesticides, microbial contamination, and active constituent levels — something over-the-counter supplements rarely guarantee.
Practitioner-Only Formulas
Professional-grade herbal products are not available in retail stores. They are formulated at therapeutic concentrations and reserved for licensed practitioners who can assess their appropriate use.
Personalized Prescription
The most powerful herbal medicine is not off-the-shelf — it is prescribed for your specific TCM pattern. Dr. Chrestman selects or custom-blends every formula based on your individual diagnosis.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Chinese herbal products safe?
When prescribed by a trained practitioner, Chinese herbal medicine has an excellent safety profile. Dr. Chrestman holds a Master of Herbology and carefully selects formulas based on your individual pattern, health history, and any medications you may be taking. We only carry high-quality, tested products from reputable suppliers.
Can I take herbal products alongside my medications?
This is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Some herbs can interact with pharmaceutical medications, which is why it is essential to work with a qualified practitioner rather than self-prescribing. Dr. Chrestman will review your full medication list before recommending any herbal formula.
What forms do the herbal products come in?
We carry products in several forms including concentrated granules (dissolved in hot water), capsules, tablets, tinctures, and topical preparations. Your practitioner will recommend the form that best suits your condition and lifestyle.
How long does it take for herbal medicine to work?
This varies depending on the condition and its chronicity. Acute conditions may respond within days; chronic conditions typically require consistent use over several weeks to months. Herbal medicine works gradually and cumulatively — building and restoring balance over time rather than simply suppressing symptoms.
Do I need an appointment to purchase herbal products?
Yes. All herbal products at Pure Holistic Health Clinic are dispensed as part of a personalized treatment plan following a consultation with Dr. Chrestman. This ensures you receive the correct formula for your specific pattern and that it is safe for your individual health situation.
