Chinese Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine has been practiced for centuries. In fact, many pharmaceuticals are modified plant extracts in pill form. Chinese herbs are potent and effective. They treat the whole body, both symptoms of disease patterns and the root causes itself, simultaneously. Here are a few examples of what Chinese herbal medicine may treat:

• Colds/Flus/Latent Viruses

• Acid reflux

• Constipation/ Diarrhea/IBS

• Irregular mensuration/ painful menses/ hormonal irregularities

• Chronic illness/ Autoimmune disorders

• Immune Boosting

• Allergies

• Headaches/ Migraines

There are a few ways you can take herbal medicine. One way is to get the raw dried herbs boil them down for a few hours into what is called a decoction. Another way is scoop a few grams of a powder into hot water, stir to dissolve and drink. We also use pill or tablet forms. There are also topical herbs for skin conditions and pain treatment.
