Herbology, particularly Chinese herbalism, has a rich history dating back thousands of years. This ancient practice harnesses the power of plant, animal, and mineral components to promote healing and address various ailments. Chinese herbology is a precise science that continues to be an effective healing tradition in today’s world.
There are over 500 individual herbs utilized in Chinese Herbal Medicine. However, these herbs are rarely used in isolation. They are carefully combined into formulas consisting of two or more herbs tailored to each patient. These ancient Chinese herbal formulas treat symptoms and stimulate the body’s natural healing process.
The herbal treatment process begins with a thorough Oriental evaluation of the patient to diagnose any imbalances. This is followed by a personalized prescription of herbs, which is continually reassessed and adjusted as necessary. Traditionally, teas or decoctions were prepared by cooking the raw herbs, providing the most individualized treatment possible.
Thanks to modern advancements, there are now several alternative methods of delivering herbal formulas. They can be transformed into pills, capsules, granules, tinctures, or topicals, making them easy to take and more accessible to a wider audience.
Today, people are becoming increasingly proactive in their healthcare choices. Pharmaceutical drugs may not be suitable for everyone, and many prescribed medications can cause undesirable side effects. As conventional medicine often lacks alternative options, many individuals are turning to herbalism. Consequently, the herbal industry has experienced significant growth over the past two decades, drawing the attention of many in conventional medicine and prompting further studies to measure the safety and effectiveness of various herbs.
Chinese herbology is often applied alongside acupuncture sessions. While it is common for patients to receive acupuncture without herbology, it is less common for patients to receive herbs without acupuncture. This holistic approach offers an excellent treatment option for those who are hesitant or fearful of needles.
