Telehealth for Herbal Medicine
Complex and powerful formulations of herbs and other natural substances have been used to treat acute illnesses and chronic conditions for thousands of years.
A body that is in balance has the amazing ability to fight off illness-causing invaders, cope with the negative impacts of stress, and even potentially self-heal. A body that is out of balance in some way may become more vulnerable to pathogens and unable to heal itself effectively.
With the help of a personalized formula, herbal medicine can help restore the body’s natural balance and therefore its ability to resist and heal from illness and injury. By identifying the specific imbalances at the root of organ system dysfunction or blockages, a Board certified herbalist can create a unique, carefully tailored formulation of natural herbs to correct the underlying imbalance.
The first step in diagnosing and treating an illness or medical concern with herbal medicine is a consultation with a Board certified herbalist. We understand, however, that many patients who may benefit from herbal medicine either cannot easily get to our office for a consultation, or may not feel comfortable with in-person office visits at this time.
For this reason, we have created a telehealth option for any patient interested in herbal medicine.
Your Telehealth Experience at Urban Acupuncture Center
Through a simple and easy-to-use online interface, you can now meet with our Board certified herbalist from the comfort of your own home.
The process is safe, convenient, and just as effective as a traditional, in-office visit.
Your personalized herbal medicine journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with our Board certified herbalist via the online platform, doxy.me.
During your first telehealth visit, you will discuss your specific health concerns and overall wellness with our herbalist. In the course of this extensive discussion, we will diagnose the pattern of disharmony at the root of your unique health concern. We will then prescribe the prepared or customized herbal formula most appropriate for you.
Follow-Up and Check-In sessions can also be online. During these appointments, we will determine the effectiveness of the treatment, renew prescriptions, and make adjustments to the herbal formula if necessary.
Telehealth for Herbal Medicine is simple and easy to use
All you need to get started with your telehealth visit is a computer, tablet, phone, or other device with a camera and a microphone. We use a simple and safe online platform called doxy.me. This platform is designed specifically to safeguard your privacy and comply with all HIPAA rules and regulations.
There’s no software to download for a telehealth visit. You don’t even need to create another online account. When it’s time for your appointment, simply use your device to check in from the comfort of your home.
The check in steps are as follows:
- Start your device and confirm that the camera and microphone are working correctly.
- Enter the correct doxy.me web address for Urban Acupuncture Center into your internet browser.
- Select “Allow” in the small dialogue box asking “Would you like to share camera and microphone with doxy.me?”
- Type your name and select the “Check In” button.
- Once your herbalist starts the telehealth visit, you will be able to see and hear each other just as if you were together in the office!
After your appointment, you will receive an email with a prescription for your unique herbal formula. This email will enable you to accept and purchase the formula. It will be shipped directly to your home!

Herbal medicine can be a powerful method of correcting imbalances, preventing illness, and enabling the body’s natural self-healing capabilities. We work only with the most reputable herbal supply companies in compliance with cGMP standards.
As always, it is important that you communicate openly with both our Board certified herbalist and any other medical practitioners about all the medications you are taking. While we generally recommend taking herbal formulas two hours apart from other medications and supplements, it is important to understand how herbal supplements may interact with other medications you take.
