Registered Herbalist is Weighing Chinese Herbal Medicine with Scale.
What is Traditional Chinese herbal medicine?
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine is a healthcare system practised for centuries in China. Its theory of balance and harmony between the body, mind, and spirit laid the foundation of healing art. Chinese medicine also seeks to restore this balance when it is in trouble. Chinese herbs focus on solving each individual's unique symptoms and constitution. Herbs are often in formulas and given in many forms and types.
Chinese Medicine (Materia Medica - a pharmacological reference book used by TCM practitioners) includes thousands of medicinal substances—primarily plants and some minerals and animal products. Different parts of plants, such as the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds many forms.
Chinese herbal medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that can use to treat a wide range of conditions. It is effective in treating both acute and chronic conditions, as well as preventing illness. Chinese herbs can integrate with other Chinese medicine modalities such as acupuncture, Chinese massage, and nutritional advice.
Chinese herbal medicine Adelaide offers GMP-certified natural and quick herbal medicine.
How does a Chinese Herbalist prescribe Chinese herbal medicine?
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine uses two or more substances in the formulations. Thus, it creates a balanced, synergistic effect that reflects the holistic nature of the diagnosis.
There are thousands of traditional herbal formulas for every imaginable condition. The registered herbalists almost always modify the formula to suit the subtle nuances of the patient's condition and constitution. Therefore, the herbal formula's modification makes each formulation highly individualised.
Our Chinese medicine Adelaide clinic's formulations are in many different forms:
- Chinese herbal decoctions - China's traditional method of preparing a herbal formula. Decoctions can involve lengthy preparation and result in "teas". They are infamous for their strong taste and aroma. Because of this, decoctions are not as popular or widely used in the west.
- Extracted medicinal herbal granules - This is our clinic's primary form of herbal medicine. It dissolves hot water to make tea. Moreover, they are more convenient to prepare to use and less intense than traditional decoctions.
- Patent herbal formulas - Pre-made herbal formulations, in pill or tablet form, is perhaps the most widely used form of Chinese herbal medicine outside China.
- Syrups - Soothing preparations for coughs and sore throat are also easy for taking the herbal formulations to children.
- Liniments, salves, compresses and plasters - Used for external application.
