Chinese Herbal Medicine in Tampa, FL
Acupuncture treats the body from the outside. Herbal medicine treats it from the inside, every day. Customized herbal prescriptions for digestion, hormones, immunity, sleep, and fertility — natural internal medicine with Dr. Josh Hanson, DACM.
Internal medicine that works between your visits.
Chinese herbal medicine is natural internal medicine. It uses precise combinations of plants, minerals, and other natural substances to correct the imbalances behind your symptoms — not just quiet the symptom for an afternoon.
An acupuncture visit lasts thirty minutes; your formula works every day in between. That is why herbs are the engine of so much real, lasting change. We build the prescription around your specific case, then refine it as your body responds.

How it fits
Better with acupuncture
Most patients get the best results combining the two. Acupuncture moves things in the moment — circulation, the nervous system, inflammation. Herbs hold that progress and keep building on it at home, day after day.
That pairing is especially powerful for hormone and fertility cases. If you're working on PCOS, ask about combining herbs with PCOS treatment; if you're trying to conceive, herbs are a core part of fertility acupuncture support.

Questions, answered
Chinese herbal medicine FAQ
What is Chinese herbal medicine?
Chinese herbal medicine is a form of natural internal medicine that uses combinations of plants, minerals, and other natural substances to correct imbalances in the body. Rather than masking a symptom, a formula is built to support the underlying systems — digestion, hormones, immunity, sleep — so the body can return to normal function. Dr. Josh Hanson, DACM is trained in both Chinese and Western herbal medicine.
Are the herbs safe and high quality?
Yes. We prescribe professional-grade herbal formulas from suppliers that test for identity, potency, heavy metals, and contaminants. Herbs are dosed for your specific case, and we review your medications and health history first to keep your treatment safe and appropriate.
How is it different from acupuncture?
Acupuncture treats the body from the outside during your visit. Herbal medicine treats it from the inside, every day between visits. Many patients get the best results combining the two: acupuncture to move things in the moment, herbs to hold and build on that progress at home.
How long until it works?
It depends on the condition. Acute issues like a cold, poor sleep, or digestive upset can shift within days. Chronic, long-standing problems — hormone imbalance, recurrent illness, fertility support — usually take several weeks to a few months of consistent use. We adjust the formula as you improve.
Do you customize the formula?
Yes. Every prescription is built around your specific pattern, symptoms, and goals, then refined at follow-up visits as your body responds. You are not handed a one-size-fits-all bottle off a shelf.
