Herbal Medicine for Today’s Health
Modern research has expanded our understanding of acupuncture and herbal medicine by examining their physiological effects, active compounds, mechanisms, safety, and potential clinical applications.
Today, these therapies are used in a variety of healthcare settings and may be incorporated alongside conventional medical care.
At IHG, this longstanding tradition is approached through a modern clinical lens, combining established practices with current knowledge, professional training, and ongoing education.
Custom Herbal Formulations
Herbal formulas are selected based on a patient’s health history, current concerns, medications, and treatment goals. Rather than relying on a single herb or a one-size-fits-all product, multiple herbs are combined to create a formula that is appropriate for the individual and the intended clinical purpose. Formulas can also be modified over time as symptoms, health needs, or treatment goals change. This allows herbal medicine to remain responsive to the patient while taking into consideration appropriate dosing, compatibility with current medications and safe use. At IHG, herbal recommendations are made following a clinical consultation and are guided by professional training, established herbal practice, current safety information, and available research.
What is herbal medicine commonly used for?
Many patients come to us for support with digestive concerns, stress and sleep, women's health, pain, hormonal balance, seasonal immunity, and fatigue and low energy.
Herb Safety and Quality Assurance
Our approach is to combine the longstanding use of herbal medicine with current research, modern manufacturing practices, and responsible clinical use, with an emphasis on quality and safety.
All herbs are rigorously tested by a GMP-certified U.S. manufacturer to ensure purity, potency, and safety. Independent labs screen for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbes.
We use advanced identification technologies—like TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) and HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography)—to verify authenticity and active compounds in every batch.
