Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine treat the full range of human disease conditions. At our health center, we treat acute diseases such as Bell’s Palsy, the common cold, influenza, and injuries as well as chronic conditions such as addictions, allergies, gynecological disorders, chronic pain, depression, impotence, infertility, and autoimmune diseases like arthritis, and irritable bowel syndrome. In particular, acupuncture and herbal medicine are a truly holistic, preventative medicine that can correct underlying, non-symptomatic imbalances before they can progress into full-symptom disease conditions.
Although acupuncture was the first Chinese therapy to gain wide acceptance in the United States, Chinese Herbal Medicine is quickly establishing itself as one of our most popular and effective therapies. Chinese Herbal medicine is the main treatment method within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is the world’s oldest, continuously practiced, professional medicine. Its written history dates back 2,500 years and its practice is even older than that. Chinese herbal medicine is safe, effective medicine when practiced by a Board certified herbologist and proven effective by many centuries of herbal medicine practice.
All of the medicinal herbs in the Chinese Materia Medica are classified according to their energetic qualities, functions, and the different organs, meridians, and imbalances that they address. In order to create the most effective formula, the herbs are used in different quantities and for different purposes. This allows the herbalist to create a formula aimed at addressing your specific needs. Formulas can be prescribed in a number of ways: raw herbs that are boiled into a tea, powders, granules, and pills.
Chinese herbal medicine can be used to expedite the healing process and strengthen, support or tonify the body. These formulas have the capacity to address the underlying root cause of various medical conditions, both acute and chronic. When prescribed and used correctly, Chinese herbal formulas rarely cause unwarranted side-effects.
Chinese herbal medicine is a safe, effective and drug-free way to become well and stay healthy, naturally!
