Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbs help to speed up the recovery process

We use Chinese herbal medicine in conjunction with other therapies to help with the healing process. Some conditions, such as Asthma, are far better being treated with herbs then with Acupuncture alone. Both forms of treatment are better when combined.

Unlike Western medicine, when a state of balance is achieved then the prescribed formulas are no longer required. Once optimum health has been achieved you can switch to a general well being formula to assist in keeping you well on track.

Herbs have been used to treat all types of conditions for thousands of years. Every culture from around the world has their own native herbs. In Traditional Chinese Medicine there are herbals formulas to treat conditions from headaches to constipation and most things in between. Herbs can assist with the healing process, allowing the body to heal faster.

Many of the Chinese formulas can be traced back through time for thousands of years. Some of these formulas have remained unchanged throughout that time, were as some new formulas have been developed to treatment more modern conditions.

Care needs to be taken when prescribing herbs as there can be drug/herb interactions and can be life threatening in the hands of the untrained. In the hands of a qualified practitioner this is not a problem. There is a herbal formula available for most conditions.

These are only a few conditions that herbal formulas can treat:

• Sinus.
• General well being.
• Insomnia.
• Pain.
• Colds and flu.
• GIT disorders.
• Women’s issues.

The herbal products that are available through our Clinic are practitioner only formulas so they are of the highest quality.
