How It Works

01

Centuries of Practice

Chinese herbs have been used for centuries to treat nearly every type of illness. Over three hundred herbs are commonly used today, each with a history stretching back at least 2,000 years.

While not limited to internal conditions, herbs are particularly valuable for treating conditions with strong internal components, as opposed to physical or structural complaints which may be better treated with acupuncture.

02

Personalized Formulas

Each herbal medicine prescription is a cocktail of many herbs tailored to the individual patient. The common reason for using a formula is to balance the functions of different herbs to reach optimal results and reduce side effects.

The balance and interaction of all ingredients are considered more important than the effect of individual ingredients. A key to success in TCM is the treatment of each patient as an individual.
