 Chinese Herbal Medicine pre-dates the use of Acupuncture by several thousand years. It is this long and distinguished history of Chinese Herbal Medicine being practiced on humans that has been used to test its safety and effectiveness.
Many of our modern medications come from these naturally occurring substances. Some of the herbs we use have anti-bacterial, anti-viral or anti-fungal properties. Others can help regulate heartbeat, raise or lower blood pressure, even boost overall immune levels by increasing white blood cell counts.
Chinese Herbal Medicine is often used in conjunction with Acupuncture in order to achieve the best and most long lasting results. An individualized herbal formula is often given to the patient at the end of an acupuncture treatment to be taken as advised. Most often the patient will take the prescribed dose 3 times a day until the condition subsides or until the next follow-up appointment. |
