Traditional Chinese Herbs

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are traditionally regarded as the two main treatment modalities of Chinese Medicine.

The Chinese have been using patent herbs for centuries. Chinese patent herbs come in a variety of forms – they can be pills, tablets, powders and liquid extracts. They are commonly used alongside acupuncture to enhance the treatment. The integration of acupuncture treatment with the herbal formulae can broaden the scope of the therapeutic range and provide additional health benefits to the patient.

Pictured here is an old Chinese herbal cabinet with several drawers for storing various herbs that I use in my clinic. In the old days in China a ‘barefoot’ doctor would carry his herbs in such a cabinet as he travelled from village to village to treat his patients.
