Chinese Herbal Medicine – How does it work?

 

Works With Your Body

This medicine offers a subtlety of diagnosis and application that has barely been matched in the history of medicine.Based on careful observation of a persons entire situation and the application of medicinal herbs this medicine helps your body’s natural healing capacity rather than fighting a “disease”.  You could think of it as a guide for the body as opposed to a head on clash with an illness. This quality produces a healing process with little or no side effects and long term lasting results.

Restores Balance To Your Health

You may be familiar with the concept of yin and yang, the opposites of light and dark ,hot and cold, feminine and masculine. This is the bedrock that Chinese herbal medicine sits on . The balance of yin and yang is what determines the your health. Too much of either or too little can cause a problem. Chinese herbal medicine works to restore a balance between these two forces.  The balance for your health may be upset by diet, lifestyle, weather or emotional shocks which then manifest as illnesses.

Treatment Suited Exactly To You

The herbs are prescribed in a formula containing anything from 2 – 12 different herbs, from which a tea is made by boiling the herbs. Each formula is individually written for you, taking into account your unique health picture.

Taking It Is Easy

Herbs can be in concentrated granules, pills or bulk (dried raw) herbs. I prescribe concentrated granules. Although bulk herbs are highly effective I have  found that many people with busy modern lives do not have the time to prepare the tea every day and find the granules offer them a way to keep up with the treatment easily and it gives great results.
