Chinese Herbal Medicine in Tucson
At Common Roots, we combine the best of Chinese herbal medicine, Western supplements, and acupuncture to create more effective and lasting results. Herbs work hand in hand with acupuncture to correct internal imbalances, support healing, and help you feel better faster.
Why Use Chinese Herbs?

We customize each formula to your unique needs, so your treatment is never ”one size fits all”. We source herbal formulas from trusted companies that have them extensively tested for safety, quality, and authenticity. Combined with Western based supplements, we bridge the best of both the ancient and modern worlds together.
