Herbal Medicine & Acupuncture for Lasting Relief

If you're experiencing pain or ongoing health issues in the New Orleans area and beyond, herbal medicine and acupuncture with Grassroots Herbs can help. During your one-hour consultation with Sarah Welch, doctor of Chinese medicine, we will chat about your case, and spend time doing acupuncture, bodywork, and/or custom herbal medicine.  Whatever will get you better the fastest!

Acupuncture & Bodywork

Healing happens from both the inside and out. During your consultation, Sarah blends acupuncture, hands-on therapies like massage and qigong, and herbal medicine to relieve pain, restore balance, and help you feel better—naturally and effectively.

Custom Herbal Medicine

Herbal prescriptions begin with whole, dried plants.  You’ll receive a custom blend of bulk herbs to make “tea” at home.  We use whole plants because less processing makes better medicine at cheaper prices.
