Chinese Herbal Medicine

Herbs are simply medicinal foods, and especially in China they have been widely used to prevent and cure disease. As a result of millennia of study by Traditional Chinese Medicine, a very extensive range of health conditions are known to respond well to herbal therapy; they have been tried and proven comprehensively for many issues. They continue to have an important role in promoting good health today, now often backed by scientific validation and understanding of the biochemical mechanisms.

Each herb contains a number of complex compounds, which when combined with other herbs, help to restore health and promote wellbeing. Herbs are less likely to cause side effects because they are natural plant extracts, which are rapidly processed and eliminated by the body, and the Chinese formulas also are designed to manage to balance the stronger herbs in the formula.
