Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the oldest and most extensive use of herbs and plant medicines in recorded history. Herbs have the power to restore balance to the organ systems, channels and vital body substances.
The art and science of using these powerful botanicals and minerals comes in knowing the flavour and thermodymatic effect of plant and how to prescribe the right herb or mixture of herbs to remedy the disharmony of the mind/body/spirit. The forms of herbal medicines most commonly used are bulk herbs, decoctions, powder or pills.
I am a competent, trained herbalist who uses herbal formulas as part of patient's treatment protocol. Each formula is tailored to the individual's disharmony and ideally is only taken for a short time to facilitate the body's innate ability to heal itself and achieve homeostasis.
