In Chinese herbal medicine we use "formulas". These are recipes which include multiple herbs that work synergistically. These recipes, or formulas, are sometimes centuries old and many brands make the same formula, sometimes modifying them with additional herbs. The companies we recommend employ rigorous quality testing and demonstrate transparency in their sourcing practices and testing procedures. We don't recommend any herbs we wouldn't take ourselves or give to our families!

What should I take?

With the exception of the Blossom Formulas for fertility, the following products have no contraindications (please read the Blossom descriptions carefully). However, there are still subtleties, so read the description of each to make sure it's the right one for you and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about a formula. If you're interested in herbs, but aren't sure what to take, book an in-person acupuncture session.

Herbal formulas have been safely used for centuries for symptoms but are not a "cure all" or a replacement for primary care from your doctor.
