Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) is an ancient system of health care that has undergone continual development over the centuries as the causes of illness that afflict mankind have evolved. In its country of origin it is not an alternative form of therapy, but is used in the state hospitals alongside modern medicine. It  is a complete medical system that is capable of treating disease in all its forms. Chinese herbs are also  used in combination with the treatment of acupuncture for fertility. Although your practitioner will treat whatever complaint you have come for, the traditional view places great importance on preventing disease before it occurs.

Chinese herbal medicine is not based on conventional Western concepts of medical diagnosis and treatment. It treats patients’ main complaints or the patterns of their symptoms rather than the underlying causes. The practitioner’s aim is to prevent and treat imbalances with complex combinations of herbs, minerals, and plant extracts.

Chinese Medicine has been used as a front line medicine as demonstrated by the majority of the world’s population since before recorded history, and is still the most widely utilized medical system in the world today.  Adverse reactions to Chinese herbs are extremely rare and are negligible when compared to those commonly produced by pharmaceutical drugs.  The basis of Herbal medicine comes from nature and is found in the leaves, stems, flowers, roots, seeds and minerals.  The herbal medicines used in our wellness center are from high quality patented formulas that come from GMP certified manufacturing facilities here in the United States.
