Our Dispensary

We are proud to offer the highest quality natural supplements available. We carry a wide range of herbs and vitamins, as well as health and wellness products. All of our products are practitioner grade. That means that they are stronger than can be purchased at a health food or grocery store. Some products are not available over the counter.

Chinese Dispensary

We carry pills, tinctures (liquid herbs), granules, pain relieving oils and liniments. The newest addition to our dispensary is our granulated (powdered) Chinese herbs. We use these herbs to create individualized formulas based on your condition. We recommend you see an acupuncturist for any Chinese herbs to ensure you receive the proper formula.

About Chinese Herbs

Chinese herbs have a rich tradition in Oriental Medicine and have been used for over 3,000 years. While Western herbs and drugs are often given individually, Chinese herbs are almost always given in combination. This ensures that there are few side effects from the formulas, and that the entire body is treated rather than just the symptom. Formulas are usually set up so that 1-3 herbs provide the main function of the formula, 1-3 more serve secondary functions, and 1-2 herbs guide the formula to the part of the body in need, and alleviate any toxicity.

Formulas are also almost never given generically for a condition. For instance, there isn't one main formula that is always given for irritable bowel syndrome. A base formula will be modified for the individual. Some herbs taken away and some added based on a diagnosis given by the practitioner.
