How Chinese Herbal Therapy is used
Chinese Herbal Therapy is often combined with acupuncture when addressing various internal complaints. Chinese herbal formulas can greatly enhance the effects of Acupuncture, especially when chronic conditions are present, and daily therapy is crucial to achieving significant and lasting relief.
Chinese herbs are mainly plant based, but some preparations include minerals and/or animal products. Chinese herbs have minimal side effects when recommended by a properly trained herbalist. What make Chinese herbs particularly safe and effective is the art of combining herbs to form a carefully balanced herbal formula. These individualized formulas not only address your main, presenting problem, but also address associated, secondary problems. Modern day Chinese herbal formulas are based on standard, classical formulas that have been tried and tested through millenniums of clinical use, and can be modified to fit your individual needs. Although the side effects of Chinese herbal formulas are minimal compared to Western pharmaceuticals, Chinese herbs are strong, and should only be recommended by a well-trained practitioner.
If an herbal formula is recommended to meet your individual health needs, the effects of your herbal formula will be monitored, and adjustments will be made as needed, to minimize side effects and maximize your healing. Typically, formulas are given in pill or capsule form, or in a tea or powder.
