Chinese herbal medicine is the oldest continually practiced medical profession in the world, many of the formula combinations have been used for hundreds if not thousands of years building up many years of anecdotal evidence to support their safety and effectiveness

Working on the same diagnostic basis as acupuncture, Chinese herbalism works by re-establishing the natural balance and harmony within the body.

Pre-prepared herbal formulae are medicines manufactured from raw or processed herbal materials into pills and tablets and can be very effective within plasters, creams and oil for external application.

Each pre-prepared herbal formulae will include several herbs working together in combination to treat the person as a whole.

Chinese herbal medicine is especially effective in the areas of infertility and menstrual irregularities, skin conditions and acute illness such as colds and flu. Herbal medicine can be used separately but is often used in conjunction with acupuncture.

Chinese herbal medicines are very safe when prescribed correctly by a properly trained practitioner. Over the centuries doctors have compiled detailed information about the pharmacopoeia and placed great emphasis on the protection of the patient. Adverse reactions can occur with any form of medicine. In the case of Chinese herbal medicine these are rare.
