What is Chinese Herbal Therapy?
Developed over 5,000 years ago traditional Chinese Medicine is based on restoring and maintaining balance and harmony, both internally and externally. Natural herbal formulas are specifically designed to correct imbalanced properties within the body, thus aiding in the treatment of disease.
Why Use Chinese Herbal Medicine?
Chinese herbal therapy offers an ancient, natural method of addressing modern health problems by taking the whole body into consideration, not just the symptoms.
Does it work?
Yes! Modern drugs you may already use are derived from raw herb formulas from China. Clinical studies utilizing traditional Chinese herbal formulas indicate that stubborn conditions, which fail to respond to modern pharmaceutical treatments, often respond extremely well to herbal therapy.
For Which Conditions Does Chinese Herbal Therapy Work Best?
Chinese herbs are often used for treating hormonal imbalances, chronic diseases/syndromes, or the common cold. The scope of use for traditional Chinese herbology is varied and vast. The effects of herbs may be seen after several days of regular use, rather than immediately. Once the effects are achieved, they generally last for a long period of time. The combination of acupuncture and Oriental body work with Chinese herbs usually provides the most dramatic results.
Can Drugs and/or Dietary Supplements be Combined with Chinese Herbal Therapy?
It is essential to inform a licensed Chinese medicine practioner of all the medicines or supplements you are taking. In general, Chinese herbal therapy has little to no contraindicated reaction with other forms of medicine. However, there are some that need medicines and/or supplement which should not be taken while using certain herbs. That is way it is so important to inform your practioner with all of your health history information so that appropriate herbal formulas can be used. On a positive note, Chinese herbs may make it possible to take lower dosages of modern medicines, to reduce their side effects, and obtain better, more comprehensive results. While modern medicines can offer acute, immediate treatments, Chinese herbs can strengthen long-term benefits, naturally. Chinese herbal therapy has been successfully used in conjunction with dietary supplements.
Are There Side Effects from Taking Chinese Herbs?
Chinese herbs are well known for their lack of side effects when administered by licensed and well trained practitioners. Occasionally, mild adverse reactions occur. Adjusting a formula to balance the specific needs of an individual will, usually alleviate these reactions such as dizziness, gastrointestinal problems, rash or nervousness. If any unusual symptoms occur, please notify your Acupuncturist immediately.
Why Are Side Effects Few?
The intention of Chinese herbal therapy is to affect the whole body. An herbal formula is carefully composed and rarely has side effects because its influences on different parts of the body are balanced by other herbs. Thus, each part of the body receives the desired type of effect.
