Herbal Medicine

Personalized Herbal Care, Wherever You Are

Herbal medicine is a great option for health concerns that need consistent, ongoing support.

All herbal consultations are virtual, so we can work together from wherever you are. We'll take a detailed look at your symptoms, health history, and goals. From there, I'll create a custom herbal formula and an individualized treatment plan with tools you can use at home.

Your formula is compounded by me and shipped directly to your door.

What Can Herbal Medicine Help With?

I work with a wide range of health concerns, but herbal medicine is especially good at:

Hormones + Menopause

Perimenopause, menopause, hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep changes, and other hormonal concerns.

Menstrual + Reproductive Health

PMS, painful periods, irregular cycles, heavy or light periods, fertility, and other cycle-related symptoms. Endometriosis and PCOS respond especially well to herbal medicine.

Digestive Health

Bloating, reflux, nausea, constipation, loose stools, appetite changes, and ongoing digestive concerns. SIBO, IBS, mast cell activation, and food allergies and sensitivities respond well to herbal medicine.

Sleep + Stress

Difficulty falling or staying asleep, feeling wired but tired, stress, tension, irritability, and feeling depleted. Depression, PMDD, anxiety, grief, and trauma can all respond well to herbal medicine.

Energy + Resilience

Fatigue, low energy, difficulty recovering from stress or illness, and feeling generally run down.

Chronic + Complex Health Concerns

Symptoms that have been around for a while, don't fit neatly into one category, or involve several systems at once. Autoimmune diseases often respond well to an integrative herbal approach.

Why Custom Herbs?

Your symptoms don't exist in isolation, and two people with the same diagnosis don't necessarily need the same herbs.

Instead of choosing a pre-made formula based on one symptom, I look at the whole you... your digestion, sleep, energy, temperature, menstrual or hormonal changes, stress, pain, health history, medications, and other symptoms.

From there, I build a formula specifically for you.

As things change, your formula can change with you.

How Virtual Herbal Care Works

1. We Meet Virtually

Your initial consultation gives us time to dig into what's going on. We'll talk through your symptoms, health history, current medications and supplements, and what you'd like help with.

2. I Do the Research

After we meet, I take up to a week to review your case, research your needs, create your custom herbal formula, and develop your treatment plan.

Depending on your needs, your plan may include nutrition, health or cycle tracking, circadian rhythm support, hormone-supportive practices, supplements, and other tools you can use at home.

3. We Review Your Plan

We'll meet again for about 15 minutes to go over your herbal formula and treatment plan, answer questions, and make sure you feel comfortable getting started.

4. Your Herbs Come to You

I compound your custom formula in-house at Mountain Remedy and ship it directly to your home with clear instructions for use.

5. We Check In Regularly

We'll follow up about every two weeks to see how you're responding, talk through any changes, and adjust your formula or treatment plan as needed.

How Long Does Herbal Care Take?

Herbal medicine works best when we give your body some time to respond and make adjustments along the way.

I typically work with patients for a minimum of 3 months, with many people seeing meaningful changes within 3–6 months of consistent herbal care.

Some concerns respond more quickly, while long-standing or complex conditions may need more time. We'll follow your progress and adjust your care as your needs change.

Herbal Medicine + Acupuncture

You don't have to be an acupuncture patient to work with me for herbs.

Herbal medicine can be used completely on its own or combined with Integrated Acupuncture + Bodywork when in-person care would also be helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you ship herbal formulas?

Yes! Custom herbal formulas can be shipped throughout the United States.

Shipping times vary depending on your formula. Many formulas can be prepared and shipped quickly, while Chinese herbal formulations may take a little longer if I need to order specific herbs from my suppliers.

Do I need to be local to work with you?

No. I work with people across the United States. Herbal consultations are virtual, and your custom formulas can be shipped directly to you anywhere within the U.S.

How do I take my herbs?

I'll include clear instructions with every formula, including how much to take, how often to take it, and how to prepare it if needed.

We'll also review your formula together before you get started, so you'll know exactly how to use what you receive.

Do you offer refills on custom formulas?

Yes. If you're an established herbal patient, your health needs haven't significantly changed, and I've seen you within the last six months, you can request a refill.

If something significant has changed with your symptoms, medications, or health, I may ask you to schedule a follow-up before refilling your formula.

Do you accept insurance?

Herbal services are not covered by insurance, but I accept HSA/FSA cards. Superbills may be available for acupuncture-related herbal care if needed.

Can I book a quick visit just to ask a few questions?
