Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbs are used to affect the Qi and promote healing within the body systems.
Chinese herbs are always combined in balanced formulas that address the main
health problem and support the whole system.
As with Acupuncture, herbal formulas are gentler than pharmaceuticals,
but can cause minor side effects, such as gas and bloating. This should
be discussed
with your practitioner.
Chinese herbal medicine is available in various forms. Prescriptions can be in the form of
loose,
dried
herbs for a tea, pill forms, tinctures, granulated powders for dissolving
in water to drink, and topical liniments and lotions.
