Wellness Begins Within, About Root & Remedy
At Root & Remedy, we believe true healing doesn't start in a factory—it starts in the body, with support from remedies the body already understands.
For thousands of years, healers across every culture have used plant-based practices to support wellness. Traditional Chinese Medicine continues this ancient wisdom, using subtle diagnostic tools like tongue and facial analysis to address imbalances before they become disease.
Our Philosophy
Prevention over reaction. Balance over crisis. Harmony over force.
Modern medicine has its place in acute care, but wellness works best when it's rooted in nature, personalized to the individual, and respectful of the body's natural wisdom.
Plant medicine arrives ready to work with your body's receptors and natural processes—no synthetic modification required. TCM formulas are crafted not just for effect, but for harmony and long-term support.
