Chinese Herbal Medicine
As a vital part of Oriental Medicine, Chinese herbal medicine is backed by many millennia of clinical testing and refinement, and is extremely effective and safe for use in the hands of a trained professional. Chinese herbal medicine can be used to treat any health issue, from colds and flus to complex autoimmune disorders, dermatological conditions, and everything in between.
Herbs and acupuncture are used together in order to produce optimal results. Each time you take a dose of herbs you are essentially giving yourself an entire treatment, as if you were in the clinic relaxed and lying on the treatment table during an acupuncture session. Your acupuncture treatment will vary from visit to visit depending on the current state of your symptoms and other factors, but your herbal prescription may remain unchanged for weeks or months depending on whether your condition is acute or chronic, what your overall physical and mental health states are like, and how often you are receiving acupuncture treatments in conjunction with your herbs.
Herbs can be administered in several different ways, including raw form, as granules, liquid extracts, or in pill form. At Great Nature Oriental Medicine, we stock over 120 of the highest quality individual herbs in a granule form, which are raw herbs that have been precooked, dried, and ground into a powder. These herbs are combined into customized and finely-balanced formulas in which each herb accentuates, controls, or guides certain qualities of the others. This powder is mixed with hot water, allowed to cool, and consumed. It couldn't be simpler or more convenient for the patient.
Aside from greatly enhancing the effects of acupuncture and bodywork treatments, herbs are especially useful for patients who cannot come in for treatments as often as the practitioner suggests, or for those who are traveling or have hectic schedules.
