Herbal Remedies

Herbal remedies are a major part of Chinese medicine, equal in importance to acupuncture. The oldest surviving text on Chinese Herbal Medicine is dated over 2,000 years ago. It describes a system of plant medicine that was already highly developed, so we are sure that the use of Chinese herbs goes back even further than that.

Over the years, billions of people have taken the same formulas that we stock at City Acupuncture of New York to treat a wide variety of diseases. These "classical" formulas have been proven to work, time and again, with little to no side effects when taken as prescribed by a trained and knowledgeable herbalist.

All of our acupuncturists are Board Certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in Chinese Herbology. This represents the highest level of training currently recognized by New York State.

Here at City Acupuncture of New York we have a wide variety of traditional chinese herb formulas available. The acupuncturist will recommend which herbal regimen to follow.
