Chinese herbal medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is based on a unique understanding of how the body works.
It is a major part of Chinese medicine - it is said, "Using only acupuncture but no herbs doesn’t make good doctors".
Practitioners prescribe a custom made formula designed to treat both the symptoms and the underlying cause of the imbalance.
Is it safe?
Chinese herbal medicine is not a folk medicine. The practice of Chinese herbal medicine at its highest level demands years of training. Most graduates from Tradtional Chinese Medicine universities in China are able to diagnose in Western medical terms and prescribe Western pharmaceuticals.
Every year massive amounts of research are carried out into the basic pharmacology and clinical use of herbal medicine in China.
When Chinese herbal medicine is practiced by well-trained practitioners it is very safe. Adverse reactions are extremely rare. Your response is carefully monitored with regular follow-up appointments.
