Chinese Herbal Medicine
A safe and natural alternative to pharmaceutical drugs
Are you looking for an effective alternative to medications or prescription drugs? Are you looking to treat the cause of your health problems rather than masking the symptoms? Is your goal to cut down or eliminate your current medications in a safe and natural way? We can help you!
Chinese herbs are natural and holistic upon the human body. They are most often plants and seeds, and are simply natural whole foods, our body take these herbs as food that nourishes and builds the body.
Chinese formula contains two parts: herbs that address the problem you are having and herbs that address why you personally are having this problem. Chinese herbal medicine is designed to treat the underlying mechanisms causing your health problems to correct them and heal your body for long term results.
Herbal medicine taken in the powder or pills is readily absorbed and easily taken. Herbal formulas are also cost-effective, in that one formula can be made to treat several conditions while simultaneously addressing the root cause and symptoms. Formulas are modified every week to every month as your condition changes and improves.
Most patients have complex multiple symptoms and patterns. Chinese herbs are combined together into a formula to carry out specific actions and simultaneously target multiple disease patterns unique to each patient. Herbs are also combined in a special way to enhance each other’s therapeutic effect and to decrease the chance of side effects.
Instead of only treating symptoms, Chinese herbs change the disease process or pattern in your body that has created those symptoms. This is why Chinese herbs are so powerful. They not only treat the symptoms, but also treat the root or nature of disease so that the body learns not to create those symptoms in the future. Herbal medicine can be used separately, but is often seen in conjunction with acupuncture.

A&Q:
How long does it take for Chinese herbs to work?
The relief for acute conditions can be more immediate and for most chronic conditions you will notice results within three to four weeks.
For a chronic condition such as arthritis, you may need to take a maintenance formula after your pain diminishes. With issues like insomnia and anxiety, you may keep a formula with you to take if you need it. Sometimes you will need to take a formula seasonally, for instance with allergies in spring and autumn.
For menstrual problems or PMS, you may need to take something each month once your cycle becomes normal. Other times you may only need herbs for a few days, such as when you feel a cold coming on or have a stomach virus. Chinese herbs can be used on a one-time basis in certain situations, such as for sports injuries.
How do I take my herbs?
Herbal formulas are taken like a tea. Simply spoon out the prescribed dosage into a mug and mix with about 6 oz. of boiling water, mix well and drink it warm.
