Chinese Herbal Therapy
Classical Chinese Medicine has a rich tradition of using herbs to support the body’s healing process. Herbs are administered in combinations called formulas, designed to deliver therapy effectively and safely. Just as Western medicine has a pharmacopeia of drugs, Classical Chinese Medicine has a wealth of formulas that have proven to be medicinal over thousands of years of use.
Chinese herbal therapy is a directional medicine. Herbs are understood to have different directions, determined by their flavor, temperature, density, and other qualities. An herb's direction determines how it will affect the body. If the body is too out of balance in one vector, herbs that move in the opposite direction can help bring it back to the desired balance. Herbs are combined with each other to create formulas that are well-balanced directionally- effective and yet safe. From the perspective of Classical Chinese Medicine, this is the mechanism by which herbal formulas heal. However, years of modern research have also shown Chinese herbs to be effective in lab-controlled studies. Chinese herbs contain many biochemical compounds that are recognized as medicinal by modern-day pharmacological standards.
I source my herbs from vendors with very high quality control, to ensure that you are getting the best medicine possible. Herbs are free of contaminants and organically grown when available.
