Chinese Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine. The healing properties of plants have been used for centuries.

A qualified practitioner of Chinese herbal medicine will have completed a detailed study of approximately 200-300 herbs. This study would include the taste, property, main actions and usage, dosage, contra-indications and preparation in prescription formula.

Herbs are now available in a number of formulas, the traditional method of boiling, and the modern form of pills and powder.
