Chinese Medicine With Tangible Results
The Alternative Clinic offers exceptional quality care at accessible prices to foster wellness in our community and prove Chinese medicine an effective treatment for illness & injury.
Not for profit medicine: there is a difference!
Acupuncture, custom herbal formula, bodywork and health consultation– we work with each client individually and one at a time because our mission is not to make a profit, our mission is to practice and teach authentic Chinese medicine! Only by proving alternative medicine efficacy across a range of severities and conditions will we preserve Chinese medicine for future generations.
With three decades of mentorship training and clinical experience in China, our team’s skill and expertise is not found elsewhere. We excel in treating difficult to treat conditions, and aim to offer a true alternative to western medicine through tangible results for recalcitrant and entrenched conditions. As a teaching clinic, we have trained our colleagues and wellness team to support wellness through tip free destress, massage and bodywork treatments.
We write custom formulae for every patient, never relying on pill, powder or tincture medicines to treat complex diseases. Sourcing only organic & lab tested herbs, we are the largest raw herb pharmacy in Asheville with uncompromising standards in herb quality. Come in to see an authentic Chinese apothecary!
Our retail section offers many commonly used Chinese patent medicines, topical creams and formulas for walk-in purchase.
As an education focused 501c3 not for profit, our mission is to practice the medicine we learned from the scholars in China and share that wisdom with our colleagues to raise the bar of medicine in our field.
In our new south slope facility, we now also offer wellness classes such as tai chi, qigong and meditation! View our class schedule at AsiaHouse828.com

During each 40 minute appointment with our Chinese medicine practitioners, we will discuss your health concerns and symptoms, identify causal factors and develop solutions. We are dedicated to one patient at a time for the duration of each appointment. Our wellness practitioners also support your health with tip-free treatments to relax and reset.
