Chinese herbs
One teacher of mine, Dr. Huang from Nanjing, states that herbs have been used in China for 7000 years! Some formulas that are used today were first written down 2000 years ago and have been in use at least since that time, perhaps much longer. Through early trail and error and later through case study, much was learned about herb combinations and formulas. Today we benefit from this long heritage. Chinese herbs are incredibly effective and yet very safe when used by a well trained and thoughtful practitioner. I do a full intake and examine before prescribing herbs. I will prescribe either a patent formula, a traditional formula available in pill form, or design a custom formula which can be either raw herbs or concentrated powders. The powders can be put in capsules for those who want capsules. Herbal formulas are available without acupuncture. There are some cases where Chinese herbs are counter indicated this would be if some one is taking multiple prescription drugs or if taking coumadin or waferin.
