Strengthen Digestion
Digestions stands at the center of all health. Improving digestive function benefits nearly every function in the body.
Calm the Nervous System
Kids get so stressed so easily, and it's easy for them to carry that stress for a lifetime. Reducing the physical effects of stress will benefit them for a lifetime.
Boost Immunity
Kids are constantly exposed to environmental stressors. Custom herbal protocols support the body's natural defenses, promoting resilience and encouraging a smoother, faster return to balance.
Detox the Body
We are surrounded by modern conveniences that don't always help. Supporting your child's natural detoxification pathways helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response and keeps their vital systems running smoothly.

Notes From Our Clients
We saw Dr. David and he was kind, calm, and gentle with all of us. He explained to us why she was colic based on her symptoms and what we could do to help ease her discomfort. After he thoughtfully explained the causes of it, he provided real solutions for us. We trusted Dr. David and promptly started on the solutions he suggested.

We started working with Dr. David Allen for herbal treatment for our son with Autism. Dr. Allen is very knowledgeable and caring. He listened to all of our concerns and explained exactly how he planned to utilize and formulate herbs to help with our son’s difficulties.
We focused a lot on inflammation, and Dr. Allen was very comprehensive in his approach. He spoke about his previous experiences and the positive outcomes of herbal therapy. Dr. Allen was available for any questions or concerns, and adjusted herbal formulations based on our son’s symptoms and struggles. We are grateful to work with a provider who is truly passionate about what he does!

Our Herbal Collection
These meticulously designed and curated herbal formulas treat common disorders safely and effectively and represent the best of David’s two decades of experience.
Help your child navigate daily transitions with ease and confidence. Our traditional herbal blend is specifically crafted to support healthy nervous system function, promote emotional regulation, and assist with natural daytime focus. By encouraging a balanced stress response, this formula helps soothe occasional frustration, melt away tension, and keep young minds anchored and steady. This is the same formula Dr David has been using in his clinic with great success for nearly two decades!
How It Works & What to Expect:
Initial Usage Period: When taken daily, the active botanicals begin to gently support neurological pathways. Parents typically notice a smoother baseline in behavioral responses and enhanced patience within the first two weeks.
Long-Term Support: For optimal, sustained cognitive benefits, continuous daily use for one to two months is often suggested. This extended period allows the botanical ingredients to support overall nervous system health, encouraging improvements in focus, emotional resilience, and overall neural balance. After this period it is recommended to take a two-week break. As the brain adjusts to lower overall stress response due to the herbs, progress made will remain in place even as the child stops taking the herbs.
Designed to support healthy respiratory function and promote clear, open airways, this daily botanical supplement helps children maintain active, unrestricted breathing. By supporting optimal bronchial health, it sustains natural breathing capacity so kids can navigate their day with ease. This is the same formula Dr David has been using in his clinic with great success for nearly two decades!
For best results, this formula should be taken continuously for at least one month. It is designed for proactive, everyday respiratory maintenance to help sustain clear airways long-term, to prevent acute episodes. It is not meant to be used as a fast-acting rescue remedy for use during sudden or acute breathing challenges.
Dr David’s experience in the clinic is that the use of this formula will decrease the frequency, intensity, and duration of acute breathing episodes, but does require continual usage for a one-month period of time. It is typical to begin to see results within two weeks. One month should be plenty, though it is possible that another month of continuous herb administration is necessary.
One bottle will last two weeks at the recommended dosage.
Provide your child with targeted botanical support during specific times of physical vulnerability. Shi Wei Bai Du San is a classical ten-ingredient liquid formula expertly crafted to assist children when their immune systems encounter stressful events or standard clinical procedures. This gentle, fast-absorbing liquid format is designed for precise short-term administration before and after targeted milestones, helping parents maintain their child's internal equilibrium and systemic comfort from the inside out. This is the same formula Dr David has been using in his clinic with great success for nearly two decades!
Key Benefits
Targeted Shielding: Formulated to assist the body's natural defense barriers during specific health milestones and physiological events.
Soothes Common Sensitivities: Helps minimize typical transient discomforts, mild disruptions, or temporary stress responses in young bodies.
Deep Internal Resilience: Utilizes traditional cooling and clearing herbs to smooth systemic flow and manage internal heat buildup.
Gentle Recovery Support: Restores a calm, balanced baseline after external challenges so your child can bounce back comfortably.
Core Traditional Ingredients
Bupleurum Root (Chai Hu): Smooths vital energy flow and helps stabilize a child's internal thermostat.
Schizonepeta & Fang Feng: Classic herbal partners used to protect and fortify a child's exterior layers against sudden stressors.
Hoelen Fungus (Fu Ling): Supports healthy fluid balance and protects sensitive digestive systems.
Platycodon & Licorice Root: Works synergistically to soothe vital pathways and support internal harmony.
Suggested Use & Timing Protocol
For short-term situational support, parents typically follow a targeted, multi-day administration timeline:
The Preparation Window: Administer the formula for three full days leading up to the scheduled event.
The Day Of: Use standard intervals on the day of the event to maintain steady systemic support.
The Recovery Window: Continue administration for three days following the event to assist with smooth recovery.
Children under 3 can use half the recommended dosage.
