Chinese Herbs
Chinese Herbal treatments have been in use since ancient times. These treatments are based on the
analysis of your body mechanism which is based on the principles of Daoism.
The treatment of various illnesses is based on the diagnosis and the symptoms. The treatment of an
illness using Chinese herbs or Chinese herbal medicine acts on your body internally. Along with
herbal treatments, several other remedial measures such as acupuncture, qigong exercise, and
lifestyle management may also be prescribed as part of the treatment process.
Chinese herb therapy has gained a significant amount of interest recently, simply because of the
absence of side-effects from the treatments. This is because the treatments are taken in a whole food
form. This way, the drugs are not reduced to their chemical fundamentals as is the case in Western
Medicine.
2. Sometimes, herbal treatment may produce effects which may seem like side effects. However, what
is really happening is that the body is detoxifying and the symptoms worsen before they completely
disappear. Your herbal treatment practitioner may often advise you about this.
These Chinese herb formulas come in the forms of teas, granule teas, capsules, tablets and formulas.
The boiling teas are often the most effective. However, they take a long preparation time. The teas
are usually not all that tasty, but one can add sugar or lemon or juice to it to enhance the taste.
Capsules, tablets and formulas are often used to treat chronic problems and work slowly.
The system of Chinese Herbal Treatment aims to restore the balance of the 5 elements in the body.
