Chinese Herbal Medicine
Ancient Chinese herbal formulas are as effective now as they were when
first introduced more than 2,000 years ago. Most formulas consist of
two to eighteen different types of herbs. Formulas treat a wide variety
of symptoms while stimulating the body's natural healing process. Hospital
studies prescribing individualized complex herbal formulas have demonstrated
excellent results with patients who fail to respond to conventional pharmaceutical
treatments.
How Do I Take Chinese Herbs?
Modern techniques can transform formulas into pills, capsules, granules,
or tinctures to make them easier and more convenient to ingest. You can
also have it prepared as they were taken in ancient times, by boiling them
and drinking the herbal soup. Chinese Herbology is considered most safe
and effective when prescribed by a qualified practitioner of Oriental Medicine.
How do I know if a practitioner is professionally trained in Chinese Herbal
Medicine?
The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
(NCCAOM) has a certification process for Chinese Herbal Medicine. Practitioners
who have received extensive training and have passed the national board
exam are entitled to add the abbreviation Dipl. CH (Diplomat of Chinese
Herbs) after their name.
