Chinese Herbal Medicine has developed over the last 3000 years into a unique and highly sophisticated system for understanding health and disease. Having a different perspective to western medicine, it can often cast light on conditions which modern medicine has difficulty treating.
Chinese herbs consist of natural dried leaves, bark, roots and flowers which possess different characteristics and actions on the body. Chinese herbal medicines come in different forms, decoctions, powders, pills, ointments and even creams.
Chinese herbs always work together to correct internal imbalances within your body and activate the body’s self-healing processes. Chinese Herbal Medicine uses exactly the same diagnostic techniques as Acupuncture. It can be used as an adjunct or instead of Acupuncture.
