Chinese Herbal Formulas in Greenville, SC

Chinese Herbal Formulas at IHP Greenville — authentic TCM, in-house herbal pharmacy. Dr. Hendry, DAOM, 25+ yrs experience. Call (864) 365-6156.

Chinese herbal formulas represent the pharmacological core of Traditional Chinese Medicine — multi-herb compositions prescribed based on individual Chinese medical diagnosis rather than symptom suppression. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry prescribes classical formulas and modified classical formulas from our full in-house professional pharmacy, ensuring you receive exactly the formula your pattern requires — dispensed at the time of your appointment.

How Chinese Herbal Formulas Works

Formula prescription follows Chinese medical pattern identification. Dr. Hendry selects a base formula from the classical literature (Huang Di Nei Jing, Shang Han Lun, Jing Yue Quan Shu) and modifies it with additional herbs to match your specific presentation. Formulas are dispensed as granule concentrates (dissolved in hot water), patent tablets, or decocted raw herbs.

Your First Appointment

Bring a current medication list — Dr. Hendry screens for herb-drug interactions before every prescription. Be prepared to discuss digestion, sleep, energy, and menstrual cycle (for women) in detail.

Why Dr. Hendry for Chinese Herbal Formulas

Dr. Hendry's doctoral-level Chinese pharmacology training gives him access to the full depth of the classical herbal literature. His research background ensures every formula he prescribes is evaluated against current evidence for herb-drug interactions and pharmacological effects.
