Herbs

In China herbs are considered to be gifts of nature and are very often used in day-to-day living such as in cooking. They are not used to “fight” a disease but to enhance the bodies ability to naturally heal.  

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), all the properties of herbs work together to assist in the bodies ability to self heal. Although the chemical properties of herbs are important ,TCM looks at the herbs taste, its temperature, and the organ channels that it enters before making a final recommendation.

In addition to single herbs, combinations, or formulas which contain many herbs working together are very often recommended. The TCM practitioner considers the TCM diagnoses, the patients constitution, the time of year, and other factors before making a final choice of herb formula to recommend. Each patients' condition is evaluated indiviually based on their unique constitution.
