Unlike a one-size-fits-all supplement, a traditional formula is selected around the pattern behind your symptoms, health history, constitution, and response to care.
Patients looking for acupuncture and Chinese medicine near Orlando can receive both services through one coordinated treatment plan at Spectrum WellCare. This holistic Chinese medicine approach allows Dr. Purohit to determine whether acupuncture, customized herbs, or a combination is appropriate for the patient's goals and health history.
The art of Chinese herbal medicine lies in the formula — combining individual herbs in precise ratios to create a synergistic effect that is more powerful than any single herb alone. Each formula is modified based on the patient's unique presentation, constitution, and response to treatment.
At Spectrum WellCare, Dr. Purohit provides Chinese herbs in concentrated granule form, a convenient clinical format that allows individualized formulas to be measured and adjusted as the treatment plan changes.

The herbs you find at a health food store are standardized, generic supplements — the same formula for everyone. Chinese herbal medicine prescribed by Dr. Purohit is completely different. Your formula is created specifically for your body after a thorough diagnostic evaluation. No two patients receive the same formula because no two patients have the same underlying pattern.
Dr. Purohit's proprietary method of prescribing Chinese herbs — blending classical TCM theory with a modern, organized clinical framework that makes prescribing more precise and adaptable.
Dr. Purohit places three fingers on three positions of each wrist — six positions total, each linked to specific organ systems. He evaluates the depth, strength, width, speed, and quality of each pulse position.
A floating pulse may indicate an exterior condition. A wiry pulse often points to Liver Qi stagnation. A deep and thin pulse suggests Kidney deficiency. Each quality tells a story about internal organ function, circulation, and the energetic state of your body — far beyond what a conventional pulse reading can reveal.
The tongue is a map of the internal organs in TCM. Dr. Purohit examines the color, shape, coating, and moisture of your tongue to gather additional diagnostic information.
A pale tongue may indicate Blood deficiency or Cold. A red tongue points to Heat or Yin deficiency. A thick yellow coating signals damp-heat in the digestive system. A purple tongue indicates Blood stasis. These findings, combined with your symptoms and pulse, form a complete diagnostic picture that guides your herbal prescription.
Chinese herbal medicine may be included in a personalized plan for chronic or recurring concerns. Recommendations depend on the patient's health history, current medications and supplements, symptoms, and Chinese medicine pattern.
A Chinese medicine evaluation may identify patterns such as Blood stasis, Heat, Dampness, or deficiency. Herbal recommendations are individualized and may be used alongside acupuncture and conventional care.
For concerns such as IBS, bloating, constipation, or reflux, Dr. Purohit reviews digestion, diet, stress, sleep, and other symptoms before deciding whether a customized herbal formula is appropriate.
Chinese herbal support may be incorporated into a broader plan for stress or sleep concerns. Treatment is personalized and should complement appropriate medical or mental-health care.
Chinese medicine considers cycle patterns, symptoms, health history, and overall constitution when evaluating concerns such as PMS or irregular cycles. Recommendations vary by patient.
Dr. Purohit evaluates the patient's full symptom pattern and medical history before recommending herbs. Customized formulas may be adjusted over time based on tolerance and response.
Fatigue can have many causes. The Chinese medicine assessment considers sleep, digestion, stress, medications, and other symptoms before herbal medicine is included in a treatment plan.
