About Frank Griffo

Frank Griffo is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist with over 20 years of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Driven by a deep commitment to improving patient outcomes and advancing the practice of TCM, Frank founded Griffo Botanicals in 2015 to make herbal medicine more accessible, convenient, and effective. Early in his practice, Frank was discouraged by the herbal options available. Raw herbs were cumbersome to prepare and consume, while pills and capsules often proved ineffective and disconnected from the original herbs. Powders were costly and led to low patient compliance. Seeking a better way, Frank began crafting tinctures as a practical solution. These formulas were effective, easy to use, and well-received by patients. Realizing their broader potential, he launched Griffo Botanicals to provide high-quality, handcrafted herbal products that empower acupuncturists to improve patient care and outcomes. Today, Griffo Botanicals reflects Frank’s mission to blend the wisdom of traditional herbalism with modern convenience. The company remains rooted in values of sustainability, quality, and community—thoughtfully infused into every bottle.
