More about Chinese Herbs

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) utilizes a variety of herbs and herbal combinations to bolster organ functionality and promote overall health. This approach is rooted in an in-depth understanding of the unique essences of different herbal elements. TCM practitioners leverage this knowledge to craft herbal formulas that offer healing benefits extending beyond their mere chemical and physical attributes. These formulas are carefully selected for their essence or signature energy vibrations, which are believed to interact with and influence the body’s own energy systems.

The history of Chinese herbal medicine spans over 2,200 years, marked by formulas comprising ingredients that synergize to achieve a balanced effect. In contrast to the Western medical paradigm where drugs are often prescribed singularly for specific ailments, TCM emphasizes the role of each herb within a formula, working together to bring the body into a state of harmony. To be included in the TCM pharmacopeia, every part of a plant is meticulously analyzed and ascribed a unique healing role. Similarly, TCM extends this philosophy to dietary practices, viewing the energetic properties of foods as pathways to target and heal specific organs.
