Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine has been used for over two thousand years in the treatment of various ailments and disease and has been prescribed for anything as simple as the common cold to digestive issues, pain, regulating the menstrual cycle and skin issues to name a few.

Chinese herbal medicine is unique in that rather than using a single herbs or single supplements, such as western herbs and supplements, Chinese Medicine herbal formulas are put together in multi-herb combinations. The synergistic effects of each of the single herbs in a particular formula are greater than the sum of their value, which allows formulas to treat multiple ailments that may seem unrelated.

Chinese herbal formulas prescribed by a registered practitioner are very safe and have little to no side effects to worry about. Each formula even has built in support herbs to lessen any possible side effects.

Herbs can act on the body as powerfully as pharmaceutical drugs and should be treated with the same caution and respect. Some herbs can be toxic in high doses, while others can cause allergic reactions. Never abandon your regular medication or alter the dose without the knowledge and approval of the prescribing physician.
