Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine is comprised of over 4000 plants, minerals, and animal products. Based on the unique presentation of symptoms a custom designed formula of anywhere from 12 to 20 ingredients may be prescribed. These combinations have been shown and documented over the 3000 year history of Chinese medicine to enhance the effectiveness of the herbs, while eliminating most possible side effects.
Used in combination with acupuncture, or alone, Chinese Herbal medicine is particularly effective in treating a range of internal disorders. These may include gynecological, digestive, respiratory, neurological as well as strengthening the immune systems.

Unlike many western medicines, which may suppress symptoms, the goal of Chinese Herbal Medicine is to address the root cause. By addressing the root, the body can rebalanced and heal itself so ultimately you will no longer need to take herbs for your condition.
