HERBAL MEDICINE

Herbal Medicine has been utilized in all corners of the world. Chinese herbs include roughly 500 single herbs and 300 formulas. Chinese herbs may include roots, rhizomes, stems, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, legumes, fungi and minerals. Chinese herbal medicine often uses not one herb but many to create a formula; like a recipe to a gourmet dinner. Several herbs are synergistically combined to cater your specific needs based on classical formulas which have been used for thousands of years.

Today, herbs are available in many different forms to suit your lifestyle. They can be taken as supplements in capsule or tea pills, tinctures and granules which can be dissolved in water to brew a drinkable tea. Lastly, the traditional historical approach, raw herbs can be boiled down in water to make a drinkable tea called an herbal decoction. All methods work and is dependent on your request.
