The two main pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine are Acupuncture and Herbology. Where acupuncture focuses more on the meridians and their flow, Chinese herbs help to balance the internal organ itself. The combination of them together is when the body heals the quickest and most efficiently.
All Chinese herbs are native to China and can be the root, bark, flower, tuber, skin of that plant. Each Chinese formula prescribed is for the individual patient and their unique makeup.
A lot of commonly used formulas are over 3000+ years old making this medicine tried and tested for centuries.
