Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is part of a larger healing system called Traditional Chinese Medicine.  Herbs are prescribed to restore energy balance to the opposing forces of energy - Yin and Yang - that run through invisible channels in the body.  Herbs can act on the body as powerfully as pharmaceutical drugs and should be treated with the same caution and respect.  Chinese herbal medicine uses herbs to improve health.  “The biggest difference between Western and traditional Chinese herbalism is that herbalists don’t treat symptoms or diseases.  They treat entire human beings, including their patterns of symptoms,”
