Herbal Consultation in Greenville, SC

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

A Chinese herbal medicine consultation at Integrative Health Partners is a specialized appointment focused on evaluating your health through the lens of Chinese medical diagnosis and prescribing a tailored herbal formula to address your primary pattern of imbalance. Herbal consultations can be standalone (for patients who prefer herbal medicine without acupuncture) or combined with acupuncture treatment. Dr. Hendry's in-house pharmacy enables same-day dispensing of your prescription.

How Herbal Consultation Works

Herbal consultations involve the same Chinese medical diagnostic process as acupuncture — tongue and pulse examination, pattern differentiation, symptom questioning. Based on the diagnosis, Dr. Hendry prescribes a formula (classical, modified classical, or custom composition) and explains what the formula is designed to do, what to expect, and when to return for reassessment.

Your First Appointment

Bring a complete medication list. Be prepared to describe your condition, digestive function, sleep quality, energy pattern, and (for women) menstrual cycle in detail — this information is central to accurate Chinese medical diagnosis.

Why Dr. Hendry for Herbal Consultation

Dr. Hendry's DAOM training in classical Chinese pharmacology and his in-house pharmacy give him the tools and expertise to prescribe and dispense pharmaceutical-grade herbal formulas that are tailored and safe.
