Herbal Remedies
Herbal therapy is an ancient practice of using plant/animal derived materials for their natural, medicinal uses. As our understanding of the human body grew, herbal medicinal practices adapted. This system of herbal medicine includes knowledge of the functions and effects of individual herbs and how they react with others in a formula to treat a set of symptoms and the root of a disease.
Practitioners of Chinese herbal medicine are trained in a complex system of diagnosis to help determine which class of formulas is appropriate for each condition. Each class of formulas has a general function to help balance and bring the body back to a state of health, or homeostasis. Some formulas are used for short periods of time to treat an acute attack, while others aim to improve long-term health and are taken for a longer duration.
Our practitioners may also recommend and offer western vitamin and mineral supplementation to improve a patient’s overall health.
