In China herbs are considered gifts of nature. They are used not to ‘fight’ a disease directly, but to enhance the body’s natural healing and to balance and regulate internal functions. Chinese Herbal Medicine is not an alternative therapy in China; it is used in the state hospitals alongside modern medicine.
Health is more than just the absence of disease and Chinese Herbal Medicine recognises this with its unique capacity to harmonise and enhance our capacity for enjoyment, fulfilment and happiness. It is the patient that is treated and not the disease. Individual case history is looked into in order to establish what can have caused the symptoms or disease. The root cause of the ailment is corrected as well as the symptoms.
Some of the various conditions treated by Herbal Medicine include:
- Skin disorders
- Gynaecological problems
- Infertility
- Digestive complaints
- Respiratory conditions
- Allergies
- Disorders of the immune system
- Acute and chronic pain
- Mental and emotional stress
- Addiction
- Weight loss
Much skill is needed to select the most appropriate combination of herbs to compose a balanced and effective prescription that safely and effectively treat conditions by re-establishing balance and harmony within the body.
