HERBS

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture are complementary therapeutic modalities that are often used together in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions.

Over the past 5000 years, Chinese herbology has evolved into an art form of its own.  Ancient herbal information was gathered, compiled, formulated, tested, and handed down from generation to generation.  These  herbal formulas  are still being used  because they are powerful therapeutic method. 

How Herbs are Prescribed
A practitioner certified in Chinese Herbology is familiar with most of 1,800 herbs in the Chinese  pharmacopeia. All of these herbs are classified  according to their energetic qualities, functions, and the different organs, meridians and disharmonies they address.

In order to create the most effective formula, the herbs are used in different quantities and for different purposes. This allows the herbalist to create a formula aimed at addressing individual needs.

How to Use  Herbs
Formulas can be prescribed in a number of ways:
  • Raw herbs that are boiled into a tea
  • Liquid extracts
  • Pills
  • Powders
Most often  you will be prescribed powders and pills which are easy and convenient to use.

How Effective are Herbs?
Every society, ancient or modern, has developed and used over centuries  herbal remedies that were proven effective.
Some of these herbs  are basis of  powerful medications such as tamoxifen, aspirin, digitalis, quinine, latest malaria drugs and other.

Research studies show that  pharmacological characteristics of many herbs include one of more of these properties: anti-inflammatory,  immuno-stimulant, immuno-suppressive, antineoplastic,  hypotensive, hypertensive, cardiotonic, vasodilator, anxiolytic, antifatigue, antioxidant, endocrine,  and many more.
