Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture are considered to be equally important treatments in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). They are often combined to be offer the most effective treatment. Chinese herbal treatments are taken in a whole food form. Single herbs are rarely used. Most formulas may contain two to fifteen different ingredients. In combination, each individual herb has its specific role. Some may augment or limit the potency of others; some may concentrate on a specific area of the body while others work on a different aspect of the illness. Through thousands of years of practice and research, TCM practitioners have found formulas to treat a wide variety of symptoms while stimulating the body’s natural healing process.
Traditionally, herbs have been administered in a number of different forms. Today, modern techniques allowed the development of other forms such as capsules, tablets, granule tea, concentrated pills that are more convenient to use and palatable.
There are no side effects associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine. A qualified TCM practitioner will render treatment safely and effectively.
It is not necessary to discontinue Western medication while receiving Chinese medicine.
