Herbal Treatments
For over two thousand years, herbal treatments have been integral to the practice of Traditional Chinese medicine. These herbal practices evolved from the integration of China’s historical folk medicine remedies with those from other parts of the world, such as Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and the Americas.
Chinese herbal prescriptions are synergetic in nature. That means the prescription often consists of various herbs prepared together that naturally compliment each other and function well together within the body. The intent and nature of the prescription is to clear the condition–while nourishing and sustaining body functions. This also helps to minimize recurrences of the condition. The practitioner will devise a treatment plan to remedy the patient’s condition and may also integrate Acupuncture into the healing regimen.
Herbal preparations may take the form of a powder, capsules, or tablets. In my practice, I use only organically grown herbs that have been produced here in the United States under strict FDA control. They are free of heavy metal contamination and other harmful pollutants.
