CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

Traditional Chinese Medicine has heavily relied on herbal therapies for thousands of years for not only the treatment of illness, but also for health and wellness optimization and dis-ease prevention. Acupuncture paired with an herbal prescription can bring the body back to a homeostatic state where the Yin and Yang are balanced in harmony.

Chinese herbs have strong therapeutic effects that encourage balance within the body, and the risk of compounding health issues arising is diminished because they are all found in nature. Composed of roots, bark, flowers, seeds, fruits, leaves, and branches, each Chinese herb contains its own unique properties, nature, flavor, and meridian target in the body. Herbal medicine is a much safer and far more gentle approach than chemical medicine as there are very limited side effects. Any side effects that may occur are counteracted by different herbs within the formula, making each prescription very unique to each individual. More people are relying on herbal medicine as a natural alternative after conventional medicine has failed.
