Herbal Medicine Treatment in Portland
Welcome to Inner Sanctuary Wellness in Portland. We offer a variety of treatment services such as customized herbal medicine grounded in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to anybody in Portland that is seeking to find balance, recover from illness, and build long-term resilience.
We also only use time-tested botanical formulas, ensuring that every remedy we provide is safe and effective.
Whether you're struggling with digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, or chronic stress, our herbal prescriptions are carefully selected to support your unique constitution and healing goals.
What Is Chinese Herbal Medicine?
Chinese herbal medicine is an ancient and potent system of healing that exists for millennia. Unlike Western supplements, which address symptoms, these formulas are precisely formulated mixtures of roots, bark, flowers, seed, and minerals that treat the root cause, not symptoms.
The herbs are determined from your personal pattern diagnosis rather than your diagnosis code, so two individuals who share the same problem may get completely different formulas because their bodies and imbalances are different.
Herbal medicine is effective alone or complemented with acupuncture and other modalities.
What Can Herbal Medicine Treat?
We employ herbal formulas for treating various conditions at our Portland clinic, some of which include:
Digestive Disorders: IBS, bloating, constipation, acid reflux, and post-antibiotic
Stress, Anxiety and Sleep: Tranquil formulas for the nervous system, lower cortisol and invite rest.
Women's Health Topics: Cycle irregularity, PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, fertility
Immune Health: Prevention and recovery from cold and flu, autoimmune support, and recovery from long-COVID
Skin, Allergies and Inflammation: Eczema, psoriasis, allergies, sinus problems and asthma.
What Makes Our Herbal Care Unique?
At Inner Sanctuary Wellness, we offer an herbal solution that is personalized, secure, and based in evidence and traditional practice. We don’t simply give you a bottle and leave you guessing, instead we take the time to describe what’s in it, how and why it functions, and how you can incorporate it into your healing journey.
Herbal Medicine as a Complement to Acupuncture
The combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine augments and prolongs the effect of each one. For instance, while acupuncture soothes the nervous system, herbs facilitate adrenal recovery and balance energy. In fertility treatment, acupuncture enhances circulation and herbs normalize hormonal rhythms.
Most clients experience quicker, longer-term benefits when each is utilized together.
What to Expect from a Herbal Medicine Consultation
Your initial herbal treatment consists of a detailed intake, pulse and tongue analysis, personalized herbal recommendation, and dosing and preparation instructions. We may further suggest follow-up visits to refine your formula as your condition changes.
