Did you know that
Pacific College’s New York campus
offers a special Herbal Consultation shift on Wednesday mornings in our brand new clinic location in the Financial District?
In keeping up with the growing national popularity of Chinese Herbs, patients who are interested in herbs for a wide variety of complaints can now access herbal treatments in Downtown NYC.
Chinese Herbs have been in the news recently, with
Time Magazine
and
The Wall Street Journal
both reporting on the growing trend of major medical institutions like The Cleveland Clinic incorporating Herbal Medicine into their offerings. You don’t have to travel to Cleveland to get a customized Chinese herbal formula though. While Chinese Herbal Medicine has always been available at the New York clinic, it’s only recently that patients have had an option to visit the clinic for Herbs as a stand-alone treatment (without acupuncture).
“Patients come for everything from dermatology to gynecology and from chronic fatigue to chronic headaches and stress,” reports Pacific College-NY Campus Director Malcolm Youngren.
“They appreciate having a natural and gentle healthcare option which has less side effects than many other healthcare options, when practiced under the supervision of a Licensed Oriental Medicine practitioner.”
Pacific College’s
experienced East Asian medicine practitioners can work with you to determine the root causes of your medical complaints, and can develop an herbal treatment plan just for you. Effective, all natural, and highly personalized, Chinese herbal formulas are also affordable. Herbal shift appointments cost $26 plus the cost of the herbs.
So, what are you waiting for?
Call our clinic today
to set up your appointment for an ancient remedy tailored to your modern needs.
