Chinese Herbal Medicine

Traditional herbal medicine has been used to treat ailments for centuries. Chinese herbology was formulated and handed down from generation to generation. It has evolved over the centuries (over 5000 years). Usage of herbal medicine is not limited to curing; they are commonly used to nourish organ systems. Today, Chinese herbology has become more mainstream. Its popularity is increasing, and it is being embraced by those who seek natural health alternatives.

Herbs are classified based on their energetic properties, their action on the body, what organ systems they target, and which channels they address. A qualified practitioner understands how the individual herbs work to come together in the most synergistic manner. A TCM herbalist can combine herbs to create a formula based on an individual’s condition. Combining herbs in this way increases the overall benefit of the formula.

Herbals come in various forms. Raw herbs, tea pills, granules, and tinctures are the common ones. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. We carry the highest quality, all-natural, and preservative-free tinctures at our in-house pharmacy.

The hierarchy of herbs in the Chinese Herbal Medicine formula

The chief herb is the most significant herb in a formulation. It is the most energetic and targeted to directly address the chief concern of the patient present.

The deputy herbs support the chief herb in its actions. They often address the secondary signs and symptoms.

The assistant reinforces the effect of other herbs. They also moderate the harsh properties that other herbs may present.

Envoys harmonize and guide.
