Herbal Therapy is an important treatment in Chinese medicine. It was largely unexplored outside China until this decade. There are over 400 Chinese herbs suitable for use in the US as they have well-documented and understood functions. Chinese herbs are said to balance our vital energy to regulate internal organs and to enhance the immune system.

Research has shown that some herbal combinations have the same effect as chemical synthetic drugs, such as killing bacteria, restraining viruses, relieving fever, stopping pain, balancing the hormones, and reducing glucose level in blood, to name a few.

Herbal treatment can be taken internally by drinking dry herbs in tea or in the form of capsules and can also be applied externally with balms, ointments or liniments. Chinese herbology is a powerful therapy whether used in conjunction with acupuncture or by itself.
