The entire staff has set out to establish the original concept of an alternative healing clinic with walk-in service. Oriental medicine treatment is available by appointment and, as needed, with walk-in service. This is the "first" in the Chinese medical profession regionally. The clinic, combined with an herbal pharmacy and the original gong-fu tea bar is the hallmark of "Roots and Legends". The staff is available for daily natural medical consultations and herbal remedy recommendations, much like the old-fashioned pharmacies. Patients arrive daily for an herbal tea for their current ailment. We will make a healing tea, on the spot, for our patients.

Said to be the most "unique" Oriental medicine clinic and wellness store in the Midwest, we are proud to have been named as one of the top 100 stores to visit in Wisconsin. We are not a health food store but a natural medicine dispensary. Our compounds and teas are dispensed only by national and state licensed practitioners, meaning that our formulas, compounds, tinctures, tonics, elixirs are therefore stronger, faster-working and more specific in nature than the over-the-counter products found in the typical health food store. We strive to carry only organic, fair trade items with herbs grown through biodynamic methods. Our combined backgrounds are in Chinese medicine, Ayervedic, Homeopathic and Anthroposophic medicines and holistic skin care and repair. We work with the world's leading natural medicine compounders using only pharmceutical and hospital-grade herbs. Come visit us! You may never be the same.
