What is Chinese Herbal Medicine?

 

A Chinese herbal formula consists of a number of herbs that work in harmony to treat imbalances in your body. An herbal formula may be prescribed on its own or in conjunction with acupuncture. When combined, herbs help to prolong the effect of the acupuncture treatment. Chinese herbs come from mineral and plant sources. Many of the herbs themselves are commonly eaten, such as orange peels, barley, yams, mushrooms, ginger, and mint.

 

Side effects are very rare, and usually consist of mild digestive upset. It is important to notify us of any allergies you have before taking an herbal formula.

 

As for quality assurance, we order only herbal formulas from companies that meet international Good Manufacturing Practice standards, which perform rigorous testing to verify correctness of species and rule out contamination.
