The aims of Chinese herbal therapy are to help you regain balance in your body and to strengthen your body’s resistance to disease. It is totally different from western medicine in that the herbs do not depend on the active ingredients but rather the energy preserved in the herbs. Prescribed by a well-trained practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the combination of Chinese herbs and acupuncture is appropriate for adults, children, and the elderly, as well as pregnant and lactating mothers and has shown for centuries to be a very effective treatment protocol for many ailments. The prescribed herbal formula targets the symptoms as well as the root cause of the disorder. As the patient progresses, the herbal formula is changed.
