Chinese Herbal Medicine

 

Chinese herbal medicine is the world’s oldest type of continually practiced professional medicine, and is the primary therapeutic approach to improved health in China (acupuncture is secondary). Chinese herbal medicine treats the full range of human conditions, and is especially good for promoting the body's ability to heal and recover from illness.

 

Chinese Herbal Medicine combines a deep knowledge of human physiology with the most extensive pharmacopoeia of organic herbs and natural substances in the world. Herbal formulas are carefully prepared from plant parts including branches, leaves, flowers, seeds, or vegetables. These herbal preparations come in the form of medicinal teas, powders, pills, and tonics.

 

Herbal combinations are tailored for each patient’s condition and lifestyle and are designed to treat specific health problems or correct specific imbalances in the body. Natural herbs tend to have slower and more gentle effects than the synthesized chemicals used in prescription or over-the-counter drugs, and have none of the negative side effects associated with such concoctions. As is every therapeutic modality used at our clinic, herbal treatments are both safe and effective.
