What is Chinese Herbal Medicine?

 

 

Most cultures, including the West, have a continuous history of the use of substances from nature to treat illness.  Until recently most Western medicines were based on plants and other natural substances.

 

Chinese herbal medicine is part of an integrated system of primary health care know as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  The origins of Chinese herbal medicine can be traced back at least five thousand years, making it one of the oldest health care systems in the world.  TCM is the second most prescribed medicine and the most widely researched complimentary medicine in the world.

 

The development of wisdom over thousands of years, combined with modern clinical and laboratory research enables the delivery of safe, effective, natural remedies to you today.

 

Chinese Herbal Medicine formulas are tailored to your individual health condition, developed from the philosophy that restoring balance and normal functioning will both treat ailments and prevent other illnesses from developing.
