Chinese herbs are a truly holistic therapy aiming to treat the body as a
whole, not just the symptoms by helping to boost the immune system. Chinese
herbs regulate the function of the internal organs and immune system by
providing essential nutrients that may be missing from some diets. Each herb has
individual medicinal properties which, when combined with other Chinese herbs,
enhance their healing function. Chinese herbal medicine therapy uses natural
plants and minerals with specific characteristics and acknowledged Chinese
medical uses to treat ailments. These help to restore the body to good health.
Combining Chinese herbs is a skilful art. Chinese herbal medicine should always
be administered by a qualified TCM practitioner.
Herbology is the art of combining Chinese herbs. Each herbal medicine
prescription is a blend of many herbs tailored to the individual patients. Many
