Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started with herbal formulas?
After your initial TCM consultation and diagnosis (in person), Crista will design your personalized formula and explain dosage, delivery form, and duration.
When will I see results?
Many clients notice improvements (digestion, sleep, energy) within 1–2 weeks. Full therapeutic courses often run 4–6 weeks, depending on your condition.
Are there any side effects?
When prescribed and monitored by a licensed TCM practitioner, side effects are rare. We’ll review your medical history, current medications, and any sensitivities to ensure safety.
How do I take my herbs?
Formulas can be prepared as brewed teas, pre-measured powders (to mix with water), capsules, or liquid tinctures. Crista will recommend the best form for your lifestyle.
Can I continue my Western medications?
Often, yes—but always inform Crista of any prescription or over-the-counter medications. She’ll ensure your herbal formula is compatible and won’t interfere with other treatments.
Will my insurance cover herbal medicine?
Herbal consultations are “by consultation” like our other services. We provide superbills you can submit to your insurer; check your plan for reimbursement eligibility.
How do I store my herbs?
Keep dried formulas in a cool, dark place; refrigerated tinctures are best stored per label instructions. Crista will advise proper storage for freshness and potency.
