Herbal Therapies

Chinese Herbal Medicine 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.

 

Although it was Acupuncture that first gained widespread recognition in the West, Chinese herbal medicine has always been an important part of Oriental medicine.

Chinese Herbal Medicine can greatly enhance the effects of Acupuncture, especially in the treatment of chronic disease where daily therapy is crucial to achieving significant and lasting relief.
