Why Try Herbal Medicine?

If you’re like most people in the U.S., then when you have a minor medical issue like a headache or muscle ache, your first instinct is to pop a few small white pills made of complex chemicals from a plastic bottle purchased from a grocery store shelf. And, there’s nothing wrong with that, let’s get that clear for sure, but what if we told you that popping a pill made of lab developed chemicals wasn’t the only way to treat common everyday medical issues? What if there was another way that was more natural and involves fewer beakers and bunsen burners? Well, traditional herbal medicine is a time honored craft that has undergone just as much, if not more, testing and study than the average white pill you can find at your pharmacist. 

About Herbal Medicine As A Whole. Our Philosophy.

Here at Eagle Acupuncture, we are firm believers in exploring every possible solution to the body’s ailments, not just the ones you can find in Western medicine. We have taken the time and effort to explore the wide world of medicine to come up with the absolute best treatments and remedies for our clients. Here is an excellent quote from our very own Kristen Burris, L.Ac., M.S.T.O.M. on the subject: 

“It’s really critical to emphasize the sophistication of herbal medicine with thousands of years of mastery backed by scientific study. The elegance comes from the balance of ingredients. We never say you need to take ‘this’ if you have ‘that’. It is much more complex than that. Five people can come in with the seemingly same complaint: migraines or anxiety or even pain in their back and we get to the root cause creating the problem and prescribe different herbal medicine based on their individual pattern, symptoms, and what makes it better or worse. It is also extraordinarily inefficient to suggest one herb at a time. The balance in the medicine makes it the most potent and safe way to address complex diseases. Customization is key to ethical, efficient and safe medicine.”
