This treatment integrates acupuncture and herbal remedies under the clinical practicum of the Herbology Degree Program. In a 75-minute session, patients receive both therapies for a more comprehensive healing experience. The student clinic charges $25 per acupuncture treatment. Herbal remedies are available at an additional cost, calculated based on the total grams prescribed, daily dosage, and treatment duration, at a reasonable market price. Patients are highly recommended to combine both treatments for optimal results. However, herbal remedies are optional and can be tailored to individual preferences and needs.
