Kampo Herbal Medicine

Kampo is a traditional Japanese herbal therapy system rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, designed to restore balance and harmony within the body. At Tangerine Roots, we integrate Kampo into every treatment, beginning with a thorough herbal examination to assess your unique health pattern, known as your "Sho."

Our approach involves a combination of diagnostic methods, with a strong focus on abdominal palpation (Fukushin), along with other diagnostic tools such as patient history, physical symptoms, and tongue examination. These techniques offer valuable insights into your body's internal state, helping us gain a deeper understanding of your individual constitution.

By identifying your specific pattern, we can match you with a personalized herbal formula that targets the root causes of your health concerns, rather than simply masking symptoms. Kampo's holistic approach goes beyond physical well-being, addressing emotional and mental balance as well, creating a comprehensive strategy for lasting healing and overall wellness.
