Doing less doesn’t mean caring less

No. Our practice is built around herbal medicine, and acupuncture is offered as a complementary service alongside our in-person herbal consultations rather than as a standalone treatment. Private-room acupuncture is available, but only by clinical recommendation after an initial herbal visit.

Both. We offer herbal telehealth consultations available to patients anywhere in California, as well as in-person visits at our pharmacy that combine an herbal consultation with acupuncture in our pharmacy chair. Your initial visit can be whichever format suits you best.

No—herbal formulas are billed separately from your consultation. A typical one- to two-week supply starts around $20–35, and may run higher for more complex formulas. This keeps your consultation fee clear and means you only pay for the specific herbs your formula calls for.

We are a cash-pay practice, which lets us spend more time with you and keep care personalized rather than dictated by insurance constraints. We're happy to provide a superbill on request, which you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Your initial visit is longer and more thorough—we take a full health history and build your treatment plan from the ground up. Followups are shorter, focused check-ins to adjust your formula and track your progress. To book at the followup rate, your visit should be within eight weeks of your last one and for the same or a related condition.

We offer several options. In-person pickup at our reception desk is free, and we also offer local Bay Area delivery for a flat fee or statewide shipping at cost. We'll go over the best option for you at the end of your consultation.
