Frequently Asked Questions

What are Herbal Supplements?

Herbal supplements are natural products derived from plants, used to support health and wellness. At our practice, we utilize Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs sourced from Evergreen Herbs, located in California. These herbs are GMP certified and undergo stringent quality control testing to ensure their safety and efficacy. They can complement acupuncture treatments or be used independently to address a variety of health concerns based on TCM diagnoses.

How do I know which herbs or supplements are right for me?

Dr. Tracie recommends herbs and supplements based on your health history, current medications, and TCM diagnosis rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. What works well for one person may not be appropriate for another, which is why we don’t recommend self-prescribing based on general information online. During your visit, she will identify the formulas and dosages best suited to your individual patterns and goals.

Can I combine herbal supplements with prescription medications?

The compatibility of herbal supplements with prescription medications often depends on the specific medications involved. In many cases, it’s advisable to take them separately to avoid potential interactions. To navigate this safely, it’s essential to work with a trained herbalist who can provide guidance tailored to your unique health situation. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements, especially if you are currently on medication.

How long does it take to notice results from herbal medicine?

It varies by person and condition. Some patients notice changes within a few weeks, while longstanding or chronic patterns often take longer to shift. Dr. Tracie monitors your progress and adjusts formulas over time so your plan evolves with you.

Are herbal supplements safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Some herbs are appropriate during pregnancy and breastfeeding, while others should be avoided. Always let Dr. Tracie know if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing, and keep your OB provider informed of anything you take. We do not recommend starting any herbal product on your own during this time.

It is always helpful to see Tracie! She has helped me with back pain and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to herbs and functional medicine.

Jennifer D.

So I've been waiting to write an exceptional review for a few weeks now. I have been suffering with sinus issues since I moved from NY three years ago. So, my goal in going was to have "normal" sinus function. Well, right before I met with Dr. Tracie, I had two back to back sinus infections. That hasn't happened since before I left NY. Dr. Tracie had her hands full with me! She gave me herbs to help as an antibiotic to clear the infection. Well! Every time I went back, I added tens of years of cleaning my sinuses!!! The amount of "stuff" that has come out of my sinuses, has NEVER come out in all the years I've had infections! I'm truly amazed, and I'm a holistic minded person already!

I had been wanting to start acupuncture and find a functional medicine doctor for a while. I am so lucky I found Dr. Tracie at Deep Roots!! The acupuncture along with eastern herbs, vitamins, and a detailed examination of my lab work has really helped my overall well being. Can't say enough, highly suggest Deep Roots

Deciding to see Dr Tracie was one of the best decisions I have made. My chief complaint was abdominal pain. I had been dealing with it for about two years and regular doctors were no help. So I prayed about seeing dr. tracie as I didn't want to see a holistic practitioner and waste more money and time. My consultation with Dr Tracie gave me the confirmation I needed to move forward with treatment. She was very attentive to my needs and had a caring sweet spirit. I started treatment the same day and she prescribed some herbs. I could tell a big difference in how I felt after treatment. I felt so much better almost like my normal self and additional treatments continued to improve my health.
