CHINESE HER
BOLOGY:
Chinese Herbal Medicine has a rich and carefully evidenced history that dates back thousands of years. Herbal properties such as temperature, flavor, color and direction are all carefully combined to form balanced prescriptions aimed at the specific pattern diagnosed by your practitioner. Consisting of substances such as plants, flowers and minerals, Chinese herbs are the precursors of today’s Western pharmaceuticals. However, they rarely elicit side effects and have been proven safe throughout thousands of years of use.
If you’re hesitant to take pharmaceutical drugs and are looking for a natural alternative for your healthcare needs, the centuries old practice of Chinese Herbal Medicine might be just the thing for you.
Chinese medicinal herbs should be taken under the care of a licensed Acupuncturist or Herbalist. If you are on prescription medications and/or under the care of a physician, co-treatment may be necessary.
