Personalized Herbal Medicine with Clinical Expertise

Herbal medicine is not one-size-fits-all.

Each formula is carefully selected and adjusted based on your specific symptoms, health history, and how your body responds to treatment.

Elizabeth Spicher is a licensed acupuncturist and board-certified herbalist (Dipl. OM) with extensive training in Chinese herbal medicine. She has completed over 3,000 hours of education and clinical training and holds certification through the National Certification Board for Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine (NCBAHM).

Her training includes advanced study in internal medicine, women’s health, and complex conditions, allowing her to develop targeted herbal prescriptions based on well-established clinical systems.

This level of training ensures that your care is both personalized and grounded in evidence-informed practice.

Conditions We Commonly Support with Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is often used alongside acupuncture to support a wide range of conditions. Many of these respond best when both internal balance and physical function are addressed together.

We commonly support patients dealing with:

• Digestive issues such as bloating, reflux, IBS, and irregular bowel function
• Hormonal and menstrual concerns including PMS, irregular cycles, PCOS, and menopause symptoms
• Fertility support for natural conception, IUI, and IVF preparation
• Stress, anxiety, and sleep problems affecting overall health and recovery
• Chronic pain conditions such as headaches, migraines, and muscle tension
• Fatigue and low energy related to stress, poor sleep, or systemic imbalance

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, herbal medicine works by addressing the pattern of imbalance that is contributing to the problem.

Custom Herbal Formulas from Our Herbal Pharmacy

We specialize in creating custom herbal prescriptions using high-quality herbs from our in-house herbal pharmacy.

Formulas are designed to:

• match your specific symptoms and diagnosis
• support multiple systems in the body at once
• adapt as your condition improves

Your formula may be adjusted over time based on your progress to ensure the best results.

Because each formula is personalized, treatment is often more precise and effective than using generalized supplements.

How Herbal Medicine Works

Chinese herbal medicine works by supporting how the body regulates key systems such as digestion, circulation, hormonal balance, and the stress response.

Formulas are designed to gently influence these systems so the body can function more efficiently and return to a more balanced state.

In many cases, herbal medicine is used alongside acupuncture to enhance results and support longer-lasting improvements.

A Natural, Thoughtful Approach to Care

Herbal medicine is a natural and drug-free option for many conditions when used appropriately.

We take a careful and individualized approach, considering your health history, medications, and overall goals before prescribing herbs.

For some patients, additional support through nutrition or lab testing may be recommended later in care when appropriate. However, most patients begin with herbal medicine and acupuncture as the foundation of treatment.

What to Expect

Your initial visit includes a detailed discussion of your symptoms, health history, and overall health patterns.

Based on this evaluation, a custom herbal formula is created specifically for you. Herbs are typically taken daily and adjusted as your condition improves.

Follow-up visits allow us to monitor progress and refine your treatment plan to ensure the best results.
