Testimonials

I received acupuncture treatment for respiratory problems from Jessica Silver L.Ac., because the amount of stress I was experiencing was causing asthma and breathing difficulties. Her patient, calming presence made it possible for me, an extremely sensitive person, to receive acupuncture treatment, and the difference it made was incredible! I highly recommend seeing Ms. Silver for treatment.

About Chinese Herbs

Used frequently in combination with acupuncture treatments, Chinese Herbal Medicine is quickly establishing itself as one of the most popular and effective alternative therapies in the West.

The Chinese Herbal Pharmacopia includes over 1500 herbs mostly from plants, flowers, roots and barks. Individual herbs are usually combined with each other into unique and individual formulas specific for each case. Ingesting the herbs mixed together into a formula not only minimizes any unpleasant effects of individual herbs, but also maximizes the benefits by targeting the exact disharmony for each different case.

When prescribed and used correctly, Chinese Herbal Medicine is very safe. It is important to work with a qualified herbalist who can prescribe an appropriate formula, monitor progress, and adjust the ingredients and dosages depending on changes in each case at different stages along the healing process.
