Chinese Herbal Medicine for Anxiety & Depression in Boulder
When stress runs high or mood dips, it can affect sleep, digestion, and how you show up in daily life. Chinese herbal medicine uses nuanced, balanced formulas that seek to calm without dulling your edge—supporting the body systems that influence mood and resilience.

In Chinese medicine, anxiety and low mood are understood as disruptions in the smooth flow of Qi and imbalances within the Heart and Liver systems—the organs that govern emotional regulation, sleep quality, and our capacity to adapt to stress. Rather than simply sedating or suppressing difficult feelings, herbal formulas work to restore harmony between these systems, addressing the root patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of worry, irritability, or flatness. At Jade Mountain Health in Boulder, we create individualized blends that support your nervous system without compromising mental clarity or energy—because feeling better shouldn't mean feeling less like yourself.
What We Focus On - Calming Without Numbing
Depending on your presentation, your practitioner may formulate to:
Ease somatic tension (tight chest, throat, jaw)
Support deeper, more continuous sleep
Settle digestive upset linked with stress
Smooth energy swings across the day
These strategies are individualized and often paired with acupuncture and breath‑based practices.
