Time-Tested Medicine
For the past 5,000 years, Chinese Herbal Medicine has been the most widely practiced herbal tradition in the world. It has a rich and sophisticated system of diagnosis to address a variety of conditions.
Today, Chinese herbal medicine is used broadly in the world as a natural therapy to treat a wide range of acute and chronic health issues. Cleveland Clinic, a leading medicine treatment and research institute in the world is now using Chinese Herbs as prescribed medicine.
Individualized Prescription
When having an herbal consultation, the practitioner will look for palpable, tangible evidence during diagnosis that calls for a particular formula, in addition to using information from the patient health history.
This results in a very specific diagnostic direction that is individualized to each particular patient and their presenting picture; each herbal formula is specifically matched to treat the patient’s body ecosystem.
As a patient’s condition changes and improves with treatment, the Chinese herbal treatment is also adjusted and modified until the desired health outcome is achieved.
Safety and Quality
As something that has evolved over millions of years, plant substances are highly complex and balanced, and very unlikely to cause side-effects when prescribed by a trained professional.
Herbal formulas are also typically prescribed with several herbs in combination in order to enhance and direct the therapeutic action of the formula. Each herb influences, and to a degree restrains, the properties of other herbs. This creates a balance and synergy that increases the intended function of the formula and enhances safety.
We use only the highest quality Chinese herbs available for purchase by licensed practitioners. The herbs we use pass rigorous testing by experts in chemistry, microbiology, and Chinese medicine, and obtain a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to guarantee the highest quality product that is safe and effective.
