Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is part of an integrated system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that can be traced back at least five thousand years, making it one of the oldest and most long-standing health care systems in the history.
Chinese Herbal Medicine is based on the concepts of Yin and Yang and clinical strategies are based upon diagnosis of patterns of signs and symptoms that reflect an imbalance of these two. Each herb has its own properties which include its energy (Temperature), its taste, its movement and its related meridians (channels).
Depending on your signs and symptoms of the illness you present, we are able to prescribe a Chinese herbal formula that specifically matches your health problem.
In addition to providing effective treatment for a wide range of health disorders, Chinese herbal medicine may also assist with general health maintenance and disease prevention by strengthening and enhancing normal body functions, boosting the immune system and promote general sense of well-being.
