Western herbs, Chinese wisdom
All herbal prescriptions at Bnourishd use Western herbs, thoughtfully combined using Chinese medicine principles — deeply holistic, modern, and always tailored to you.
Our approach
Integrative care
Truly effective care comes from seeing the whole person and treating both the root causes and the symptoms. The time-honoured principles of Chinese medicine are blended with the best of modern Western herbal science.
That means you get the best of both worlds: deep, holistic healing through Chinese medicine diagnosis and protocol, and fast, targeted symptom relief with evidence-based Western herbal tinctures — a plan rooted in ancient knowledge, guided by research, and designed for real results.
Your prescription
How your herbal care works
Powdered herbal formulas
Your main prescription is a powdered formula made exclusively from Western herbs, crafted according to Chinese medicine philosophy and diagnosis. It is designed to address the underlying patterns behind complex health concerns — the depth of Chinese medicine, with a Western herbal toolkit.
Herbal tinctures for fast relief
When extra support is needed, your treatment is overlaid with carefully selected Western herbal tinctures chosen using modern scientific guidelines. They deliver precise, rapid relief for acute symptoms while your main formula works on deeper, long-term healing.
Functional blood test analysis
Standard 'normal' ranges can miss a lot. Your results are reviewed through a functional medicine lens to uncover nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and underlying issues — so treatment targets the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Targeted nutrition & supplements
Based on your results, you receive specific food, supplement and lifestyle recommendations — whether that's iron, B12, folate or anything else. Practical, evidence-based advice to help you feel your best.
