Evan Long, MPH

Practice Details:

Hi, I’m Evan Long, MPH, clinical herbalist and health educator at Everlasting Herbs. I offer my clients custom-formulated herbal therapies from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Western, and other herbal healing traditions as well as individually selected medical qigong exercises to encourage relaxation and self-healing from within.

Herbs can balance and support health across a broad range of body/mind systems and work best when properly combined by a knowledgeable herbalist. After a one-on-one consultation with you about your health, I will create one or more individually formulated batches of herbs for you to take daily and provide qigong exercises for you to practice.

I believe that complementary/alternative and orthodox treatment methods are both useful and valid forms of medicine, and I will work alongside any existing providers you may already be seeing (MDs, NDs, DOs, NPs, mental health professionals, etc.) as part of your overall healthcare provider team.

My herbal therapies are evidence-based, and for those who want to take a look at some of the science behind herbalism, the NIH’s free-to-use PubMed service, while not an exhaustive source of herbal knowledge, is replete with tens of thousands of health studies documenting how herbs work.

Please note that I am conducting all client meetings through telehealth online video chat sessions on Doxy.me due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
