Chinese herbs have evolved over thousands of years. The successful practice of Chinese Medicine is fully understanding their true nature. It is about alchemy, combining individual herbs based on their therapeutic characteristics, such as: warming, cooling, aromatic, pungent, and purgative (to list a few).
This takes years of patient study and practice.
I will always remember the first time I made a Chinese formula. Galon-sized jars containing plants, roots, stems, bark, minerals, leaves, and flowers. With different textures, colors, tastes, and smells. I walked into a beautiful world of science and alchemy. For example, yellow bitter herbs clear heat and toxicity. Orange herbs strengthen the stomach and digestion. There are hundreds of therapeutic actions.
Chinese medicine is an amazing approach to healing. The key in prescribing Chinese herbs successfully is reading the Chinese pulses for each individual and diagnosing the nature of their illness. Based on their pulses, I make an herbal formulation containing 10-12 herbs. In my experience, I have seen people regain their health when they thought it was impossible to heal.
I have been prescribing Chinese herbs for 33 years. It can be the most magical, effective part of Chinese medicine.
I source herbs of the highest quality tested for pesticides and heavy metals.
