Extensive Chinese Herbal Pharmacy, specializing in Custom Formulas

We currently stock over 270 Traditional Chinese Herbal Formulas and Single Herbs in our extensive Chinese Herbal Pharmacy. It is our honor to be able to offer this service which helps people in the Columbia Gorge to get well naturally! One client told us: "Thank you so much, now I don’t have to drive to Portland any longer for my Custom Chinese Herbs!"

All of our clients have access to the Pharmacy, with a minimal wait time; we will mix and deliver our Custom Formulas to either clinic location, in Hood River or The Dalles, within three days. If you are interested in trying a custom herbal formula for your health concern needs, or if one of our Acupuncturists suggest the inclusion of one as part of your treatment plan we will:

First schedule an extra visit, called an Herbal Evaluation.

         During this appointment we will perform a Chinese Medical Pulse Diagnosis, and conduct a medical intake to discuss the focus of your Custom Chinese Herbal Formula. All Acupuncturists at Cascade Acupuncture Center have been trained in the specific Chinese Medical Pulse Diagnosis with Jimmy Wei-Yen Chang, LAc.

Second we will prepare your Custom Chinese Herbal formula.

         This involves using four to seven different Classical Chinese Herbal Formulas or Single Chinese Herbs from our Pharmacy. These ingredients will be prescribed in different dosages, according to your Chinese Medical Pulse, your progress and medical focus of your formula. The resulting Custom Chinese Herbal Formula is designed for your specific needs and is valid for only for the next few weeks; as your condition improves, you formula will be adjusted to meet your changing needs. Please consider comparing our approach to prescribing medicine with over the counter or prescription pharmaceuticals.

After two or four weeks, we will evaluate your progress again with another Herbal Evaluation visit and will prescribe your next Custom Chinese Herbal Formula.

This form of practicing Chinese Herbal Medicine is the most customized and most effective way to attain lasting results.

Please call or email us if you have any questions.
