Traditional Chinese medicine relies on herbal therapy both for the treatment and prevention of disease.  Medicinal substances including plant, animal and mineral, are chosen based on their effect to normalize unbalanced energy within the body.

Chinese medicinal formulas are prepared in a number of ways including decoctions, granules, patents, tinctures and liniments.  At River City Wellness, prescription of herbs is done through classical and modern-day patent formulas.  These are pre-made herbal formulas in pill or capsule form taken for a short term basis to help restore health and balance.
