What is Chinese
Herbal Medicine?
Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the oldest and most sophisticated systems of herbal medicine in the world. It uses carefully selected combinations of herbs to restore balance, support organ function and address the root causes of illness.
At Ascend Acupuncture, Dr. Truth primarily prescribes high-quality **patent formulas** from the ChinaMed range. These are concentrated granule formulas (the next best thing to raw herbs) that are also available in easy-to-take capsules. This approach keeps costs down while still delivering excellent clinical results through consistent daily use.
Custom formulas are available when truly needed, but most patients achieve great success with the well-balanced patent formulas.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
at Ascend
Dr. Truth uses Chinese Herbal Medicine selectively and strategically. It is not prescribed for every patient, but when it fits the pattern it can significantly enhance results.
He mainly prescribes high-quality patent formulas from the **ChinaMed** range. These are concentrated granule formulas — the next best thing to raw herbs — and are also available in convenient capsules. This makes them much easier to take consistently, which leads to better clinical outcomes while keeping costs manageable.
Herbs are most commonly used to complement acupuncture when deeper energetic rebalancing or constitutional support is needed. They work beautifully alongside acupuncture, motor point needling and NET.
Custom formulas are available when clinically necessary, but most patients achieve excellent results with the well-balanced patent formulas.
