Chinese Herbal Medicine

What makes Traditional Chinese Medicine unique?

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses an ancient diagnostic system that takes observations of your whole body to make a traditional diagnostic assessment of your health. Your practitioner will make a detailed assessment of all of your symptoms from head to toe, including a tongue observation and pulse assessment. By using this diagnostic system, Traditional Chinese Medicine can assess the body by describing the levels of Qi (energy), Xue (blood), Heat & Cold, Stagnation, Excess or Deficiency. Then using this diagnosis, a treatment protocol can be established that focuses on restoring these elements to balance within the body.

Why herbal medicine?

Plants and herbal medicines have been used for millennia to treat all types of health complaints.  The human body responds well to herbal medicines and tolerates and digests them easily.  You will also find that most herbal medicines will cause less side effects than Western medications so are suitable for sensitive people. 

What herbs will I take?

Your practitioner will make a tailored prescription for you which may include a powdered herbal prescription, capsules or pills.  We may also prescribe nutritional supplements to support your treatment. 
We use concentrated herbal extracts to create a tailored herbal formula for you. Your herbs will come in the form of a powder which can be easily taken with water twice per day. These herbs are potent and effective and of the highest quality.
