Chinese Herbal Medicine

What Is

Chinese Herbal Medicine?

Chinese herbal medicine is part of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) system. It involves the use of herbs to restore vital “Qi” energy and treat disease. Unlike conventional medicine, Chinese herbs use natural elements only.

Chinese herbal medicine has a long and glorious history in China, dating back to the 30th century BC. Along with the Indian Ayurvedic system, Chinese herbal medicine is considered a fundamental ancient medicine system. With the passage of time, writings and practices of Chinese herbal medicine became more public.

Nowadays, Chinese herbal medicine is a very popular alternative healing method worldwide. Whether used alone or along with other therapies, it has proven health benefits. Chinese herbal medicine products are available in tea, powder, tablet, paste, tincture, or lotion forms. The concentration of each remedy depends on the herb type and properties.

While there are hundreds of Chinese herbal remedies available, not every product is the same. They are different products based on quality and efficiency. Some products are pure and potent while others are low-quality and contaminated. It is wise to choose trusted providers that only use high-quality, pure and potent herbal sources.

How Does

Chinese Herbal Medicine Work?

The basic aim of Chinese herbal medicine is to balance the Yin and Yang in the system. This results in improved health and absence of disease. Yin and Yang correspond to the opposing cold-hot, male-female, and outside-inside “Qi” energies.

Yin and Yang apply to the internal body by linking with different body parts. Some body organs are considered “cold” while others are “hot”. For example, if one “cold” body organ is ill, it will need a “hot” herbal remedy to recover.

Chinese herbal medicine follows the principle of 5 natural elements: fire, water, wood, metal, and earth. Similarly, the herbs are categorised based on their element and taste: sour, sweet, salty, bitter, and pungent. For instance, skin is a metal Yang organ, a Yin pungent herb can balance it out.

Chinese herbal medicine generally controls inflammation, preserves balance and encourages immunity to fight disease. You are a good candidate for Chinese herbal medicine if you encounter one or more persistent symptom/s without a known cause.

For example, your regular doctor can’t find the cause of your frequent allergies. He/she prescribes drugs but they don’t seem to help. In this case, you may contact a skilled Chinese herbal medicine practitioner to find a herbal remedy.
