TCM Herbal Medicine Prescription

Chinese herbal medicines are mainly plant based, but some preparations include minerals or animal products. They can be packaged as powders, pastes, lotions or tablets, depending on the herb and its intended use. Different herbs have different properties and can balance particular parts of the body. Prescribing a particular herb or concoction of herbs means the practitioner’s diagnosis has to take into account the state of the patient’s Yin and Yang, and the elements that are governing the affected organs.

Not all herbs need to be difficult to attain, because many herbs are found in the supermarkets as I wrote in my blog posts about them, and the list just goes on without end.

Suitable for: all health conditions as a main stand alone treatment or complimentary treatment to acupuncture or manual therapy
