Herbology

Herbology is the use of plant and other natural matter in order to alleviate complaints and illness. It is a natural and gentle form of treatment. Elin is a fully trained and certified Chinese herbologist. She uses the latest western research and combines this with the ancient art of Chinese herbology.

Chinese herbology is quite different from western pharmacology. In western pharmacology a single drug is often chosen to treat an ailment. In Chinese herbology a formula containing numerous herbs is constructed. Through applying her knowledge Elin will develop a formula which meets your specific health condition.

Herbal prescriptions are available in a variety of forms ranging from pills and powders to raw herbs. Island Acupuncture and Herbs has a fully stocked herbal dispensary specializing in herbs in pill form, granules and topical applications. We also offer Herbal packages and specials.
