The use of Chinese herbs is rooted in ancient tradition. In TCM, single Chinese herbs are combined to promote healing by influencing specific organs and body functions. These herbs contain antiviral, antibacterial and immunomodulating properties. Herbs may be combined in a specific formula to suit the needs of the individual and the underlying issues, or given as an already prepared formulation. Herbs are added or eliminated as an individual recovers or as the dis-ease changes. Herbs are used in conjunction with other forms of healing: lifestyle management, Qi Gong & Acupuncture to name a few.
Herbs are formulated as teas, capsules, tablets, powders and liquids. Along with other forms of TCM healing, Chinese herbs aid in restoring the balance of yin (feminine energy) and yang (masculine energy) and create harmony in the body.
