Why Herbal Therapy Feels Different?
It's More Than a Single Fix - It Works with Your Whole System
How Conventional Drugs Work
Single compound in a drug is aimed for one specific molecular target – which makes them quick and effective for specific issues, but limited when your symptoms are vague, complex, or don’t fit a standard diagnosis.
How Herbal Formulas Work
Multiple natural compounds in herbal formula interact through multiple pathways, enabling a modulation in a system-wide level. This is why they can address the underlying imbalance causing your condition – with fewer side effects.
Because it works by gently adjusting your whole system—not forcing a single effect—you may not see instant results. But when it works, it sticks. And that’s the change worth waiting for.
What We Mean by Herbal Therapy
Herb can mean different things to different people. At One Ounce Herbology, we practice a professional, diagnosis-based herbal therapy rooted in East Asia’s established tradition and regulated systems.
- Not just folk remedies or DIY herbs for generic recommendations
- Not just supplements, pills, or extracts with isolated components
- Not alternative, but complementary
We respect your medical background and current treatments just like the way herbal therapy is part of mainstream healthcare in East Asian countries including Korea, China, Taiwan and Japan.
Integrated - Not Isolated
In the U.S., leading academic integrative medicine programs are beginning to incorporate herbal medicine into patient care — especially when conventional treatments offer limited options. Their data shows high patient satisfaction with supervised herbal treatment.
Yet beyond pioneering institutions, conventional medical clinics across the U.S. rarely offer herbal treatment options. This leaves patients seeking safe and effective herbal therapy either feeling unsupported or forced to risk unsupervised herbal use.
This stands in stark contrast to South Korea, where herbal medicine is integrated into everyday healthcare, recognized as legitimate treatment, and reimbursed through the national health insurance system.
At One Ounce Herbology, our practitioners are licensed Korean Medicine Doctors with extensive experience in integrative care and bring professionally formulated, regulated, and individualized herbal therapy to patients in the U.S.—whether as a complement to your current treatment or as a primary approach to wellness.
Your safety is our priority
Bringing Korea's Standards to You
South Korea’s regulatory system treats herbal medicine with the same rigor as pharmaceuticals – not just dietary supplements as in the United States. That means quality, safety and efficacy aren’t vague claims. They are built into the process.
Professional Standards from Herb to Formula
Experience Korea's trusted system in your care >>
01.
Full Transparency: From Farm to Formula
Every herb is fully traceable – from seed selection and growing conditions to processing and packaging. We only use verified herbs within the government regulation.
02.
Identity, Purity, and Potency Testing
Our herbs are screened for contaminants, authenticated for correct species, and assessed for active compound levels – to ensure what’s on the label is what ‘s in your formula.
03.
Pharmaceutical-Level Preparation
Your herbs are measured, decocted, and packaged by licensed herbal pharmacists in certified facilities that meet pharmaceutical-grade GMP standards.
As Korean Medicine Doctors (KMDs), we have exclusive access to this professional-grade system.
04.
Condensed, Sterilized, and Ready-to-Use Packaging
Single serving is concentrated to 30mL (1.014 oz) and every pouch is sealed under sterile conditions so they can be stored in room temperature throughout your treatment period.
We make herbs understandable to you
Feeling lost in terms like yin, yang, and qi? We understand. While East Asian medicine has constantly evolved through its rich history, we believe its language must adapt too, bridging the gap with today’s scientific understanding.
Modern research increasingly supports the effects of traditional formulas, showing measurable results. We’re here to translate that knowledge for you.

Transparency, Not Mystery
Our unique expertise bridging modern healthcare and East Asian medicine eliminates the “mystery tea” approach. With each personalized formula, you’ll receive a detailed report documenting key herbs, their intended therapeutic effects from East Asian medicine theories, and links to relevant research studies supporting their use for your specific concerns.
Authentic Expertise with Global Perspective
Our practitioners combine deep knowledge of classical East Asian herbology texts with mastery of contemporary research from Korea, China, Japan, and Western institutions. This unique fusion, refined through the experience across healthcare systems, ensures you receive care that’s authentic yet appropriately adapted to American healthcare contexts and patient needs.

Comprehensive Care When It Mattered Most
While my son was going through difficult health issues and needed to see 4 or 5 different medical specialists, Dr. Park was the only doctor who wanted to review every one of those medical reports and break down to preventive and holistic strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will herbal therapy work with my current medications?
Your safety is our priority. When you share your current medications with us, we conduct a thorough review to ensure safe integration with your herbal therapy. Our practice follows established protocols for herb-drug interactions, drawing from comprehensive East Asian medicine documentation and modern databases.
What makes our approach unique is our ability to customize your formula by substituting specific herbs when needed to minimize potential interactions while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness. We utilize specialized databases and our clinical expertise to create the safest, most efficacious formula for your individual needs.
How do I know herbal therapy will work for my specific condition?
We begin by establishing clear, achievable treatment goals that both you and our practitioners agree upon. These goals are based on multiple sources of evidence:
- Traditional knowledge from East Asian medical classics
- Modern clinical guidelines for herbal applications
- Relevant scientific research studies
- Our practitioners’ extensive clinical experience
Our primary focus is always addressing your symptoms effectively. Beyond that, we design treatments that create lasting improvements, so your condition doesn’t simply return when therapy ends. This dual approach—immediate relief plus sustained wellness—forms the foundation of our treatment philosophy.
How long will I need to take the herbal therapy? Is this a long-term commitment?
Our standard treatment follows a 20-day cycle. For most patients, we recommend completing two to three cycles, particularly for chronic or severe conditions. However, this timeline is flexible and personalized based on:
- The severity of your condition
- How long you’ve been experiencing symptoms
- Your body’s response to the initial treatment
- The specific treatment goals we’ve established together
Throughout your treatment, we’ll monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. Some patients experience significant improvement after just one cycle, while others benefit from a more extended approach. We’ll work together to determine the optimal duration for your specific needs.
Does the higher standard and integrative approach mean significantly higher costs?
Our pricing reflects our comprehensive, one-stop approach to herbal therapy. In a single hour-long consultation, you’ll receive:
- Professional evaluation by Korean Medicine Doctors
- A customized herbal prescription tailored specifically to your condition
- A 20-day supply of individually packaged herbal pouches
- Ongoing follow-up support throughout your 20-day treatment cycle
The all-inclusive price covers your consultation, prescription formulation, dispensing, premium-quality raw herbs, specialized preparation (decoction and concentration), sterile packaging, international shipping from our facilities in South Korea, and all applicable taxes.
This integrated approach eliminates the common hassle of separate visits to practitioners and dispensaries, saving you both time and coordination efforts while ensuring the highest quality standards throughout your treatment process.
Will my insurance cover any of this treatment?
While conventional insurance typically doesn’t cover herbal therapy, we do accept HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards as payment options. These tax-advantaged accounts allow you to use pre-tax dollars for qualified medical expenses, which can provide significant savings.
Do I need to visit in person for consultation, or are virtual options available?
We recommend in-person consultation whenever possible. However, because our personalized herbal formulas are packaged and shipped directly to you, the entire treatment process works seamlessly whether you visit our Upper East Side location or connect with us virtually.
For virtual consultations, we do need to assess your overall physical appearance, including height, weight range, and posture. These physical characteristics provide essential information for determining your body constitution, a key component of our personalized approach.
Virtual appointments can be particularly beneficial if you:
- Live outside the Manhattan area
- Have a busy schedule that makes travel difficult
- Prefer to receive healthcare services from home
- Have mobility limitations
