Chinese Herbal MEDICINE
Traditional Chinese Medicine has one of the oldest and most complex understandings of herbal formulas in recorded history. Danielle has combined her knowledge and use of western herbs (those indigenous to North America) with Traditional Chinese Medicine by using the best of both traditions. She is able to determine the most effective and safest combination of herbal remedies.
Herbal medicine effectively treats acute disorders such as the common cold or flu, as well as chronic conditions, such as gynecological, autoimmune disorders, allergies, viral disorders and chronic degenerative disease. Herbal formulas are individually formulated for each patient, based on their individual needs.

Western HERBAL MEDICINE
Western herbal medicine is the practice of herbs which are indigenous to North America. Western herbal medicine is different from Chinese herbal medicine in that western herbs are often times used as single herbs, Whether as a tea, infusion,tincture, or capsule form. These are herbs that very well maybe growing in your back yard, as what you may call weeds ! Dandelion, violet, nettles, mustard greens to just name a few.Western herbal medicine is practiced from a different paradigm than eastern herbal medicine. These herbs are also commonly used as single herb and not necessarily always combined in a formula.
Herbs are taken as teas, which can be as simple as chamomile or red raspberry tea, An herbal infusion which is a strong tea which steeps for hours. Herbs are also used in tincture form powder or capsule. There are also external applications of herbs such as herbal compresses.. sitz baths to name a few.
western herbs .. are often grown in the US it is usually easier to get these herbs organic and or wildcrafted. When we are using herbs in a therapeutic dose it is very important we are getting the highest quality available and note if the herb is organic or wildcrafted.
As both a western and eastern herbalist I see enormous benefits to both paradigms and use what is called for based on each
individual patient.
