Classical Chinese Herbal Medicine
Classical Chinese herbalism is an effective method of treating all health conditions that people suffer from. Its theories and practices originated over 2,000 years ago and have been evolving and adapting ever since.
At Cedar Grove Healing Arts, we utilize the power of classical herbal prescriptions to treat both simple and complex conditions that our patients present with. We have advanced training in multiple herbal traditions, including the Jade Woman & Jade Man herbal line and the Heiner Fruehauf lineage.
The teachings of Dr. Heiner Fruehauf, along with his formulation and development of the Classical Pearls product line of Legacy and Heritage-based remedies, have been extensively studied by Rob Mills and Emden Griffin. An internationally recognized expert in classical Chinese herbal medicine for more than 30 years, Dr. Fruehauf is a leader in treating chronic, difficult, and recalcitrant diseases with Chinese herbal medicine. In 2024, Rob completed a 14-month certificate program with Dr. Fruehauf focusing on the prescription of herbal formulas to treat modern patients from a classical perspective.
We are proud to offer herbal medicine, which has the unique ability to treat a broad array of chronic and complex conditions modern patients suffer from.
Some of the advantages of using herbs such as Classical Pearls for the treatment of chronic conditions are:
- Daily dosing multiple times per day ensures that therapy is being given daily and not just weekly or bi-weekly, as with acupuncture.
- A modular approach with pre-made, encapsulated herbs allows for flexible formula combining to custom-tailor the treatment to the patient and adjust it over time.
- “Formula families” can be rotated over time to reduce or eliminate “formula fatigue” and thus keep progress and gains going over months and years.
- Prescriptions can be given for up to two months at a time with minimal check-ins and re-evaluations.
At Cedar Grove Healing Arts, we recognize that many of our patients come to us seeking care after having seen many other providers and having “tried everything.” We understand what it takes to make progress and get results for those who suffer from chronic, complex, and recalcitrant problems that are not easily treated with conventional means. This is why we employ the powerful and dynamic tool of herbal prescription. We look forward to discussing with you how herbs can make a big difference in shifting the balance in your favor.
