Said to be the most "unique" Oriental medicine clinic and wellness store in the Midwest, we are proud to have been named as one of the top 100 stores to visit in Wisconsin. We are not a health food store but a natural medicine dispensary. Our compounds and teas are dispensed only by national and state licensed practitioners, meaning that our formulas, compounds, tinctures, tonics, elixirs are therefore stronger, faster-working and more specific in nature than the over-the-counter products found in the typical health food store. We strive to carry only organic, fair trade items with herbs grown through biodynamic methods. Our combined backgrounds are in Chinese medicine, Ayervedic, Homeopathic and Anthroposophic medicines and holistic skin care and repair. We work with the world's leading natural medicine compounders using only pharmceutical and hospital-grade herbs. Come visit us! You may never be the same.
