Chinese herbal medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is at once
a truly traditional medicine and yet one that continues
to grow. It reveres and utilises the past, but also
incorporates innovations based on clinical experience
and scientific investigation.
Medicinal herbs form the basis of a
medical system used by one quarter of the world’s
population. Chinese herbal medicines act in a gentle
and gradual manner, treating the root cause of the
problem as well as relieving the symptoms. This natural
form of therapy also lacks the dramatic impact and
often undesirable side-effects of western drugs.
While acupuncture works from the outside
in, Chinese herbs work from the inside out. Pill formulations
are slower acting and best used for chronic conditions.
Powdered extracts and raw herbs are best for acute
conditions, are faster acting and should not be taken
for extended periods without consultation and advice
from a qualified Traditional Chinese Medical practitioner.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is good
for a wide range of diseases and ailments. An example
is the use of tonic medicines to strengthen and supplement
parts of the body that have become weak or are not
functioning at full capacity. Chinese medicine can
treat many chronic and degenerative conditions, boost
the immune system and restore optimal function to
the organs, the body and the mind.
Chinese herbs can treat all neurological,
cardio-vascular, respiratory, digestive, gynaecological,
urogenital and skin conditions.
Chinese herbs can be extremely effective
for all men and women’s sexual health, fertility
and pain-free cycle management.
