Chinese Medicine

24 Dec

Chinese herbal medicine is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which operates on the same principles as acupuncture. Once the patient's case history is taken and a diagnosis made, a formula comprising carefully weighed and proportioned herbs will be formulated from a selection of over 400 Chinese herbs. The patient will also receive instructions on how to take the medicine for maximum effectiveness and symptom relief.
