Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is an important modality of Classical and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that is used for a variety of health conditions, often together with acupuncture treatments. The first evidence of the use of herbal formulas in China dates to about 3,000 years ago, but the use herbs to treat health issues is much older. The Chinese materia medica contains about 600 common plant or other natural components used for treating illness and disease, and are extremely effective in the hands of trained practitioners.
How does Chinese Herbal Medicine work?
Chinese herbal medicine is an integral part of this system of medicine that not only focuses on treating physical pathology, but also balances and restores the the body's vital energies. One of the key strengths of Chinese Herbal Medicine is its personalized approach. Practitioners consider an individual’s constitution, symptoms, and imbalances, tailoring both the herbal and acupuncture treatment plan to specifically address the unique needs of each patient. Therefore Chinese herbal medicine works intricately together with acupuncture offering a unified approach that most often leads to patients experiencing faster relief and healing. Most importantly these natural herbal medicines are able to treat complex health issues without the harmful side effects common to prescription medications.
