Chinese Herbs

herbs Chinese herbs have been used to prevent and treat illness for over 3,000 years.  In China, the use of herbs is a part of daily life.  Not only do Western trained physicians prescribe both herbs and pharmaceuticals to patients,   but everyday people cook with herbs and utilize the principles behind Chinese medicine to improve their overall health.

Here in the United States, the use of Traditional medicines is becoming more accepted as people experience herbal medicine’s profound influence over disease states.  Chinese herbs are a combination of plant, animal and mineral ingredients. 

In contrast to Western herbalism, Chinese herbs are rarely, if ever, given alone.  Chinese herbs are prescribed as a formula and the ingredients can be altered and changed in response to an individual’s reaction to treatment.   Chinese herbal formulas are recommended to target an individual’s specific disharmony and are tailored to bring each person back into a state of health and vitality.
