Chinese Herbal Medicine is the use of Chinese herbs to create individualized internal formulas for each patient who chooses this path in bettering his or her health. There are over 5,000 medicinal and natural substances that can be used for internal and/or external treatment of illness, to improve health and/or in prevention of disease. Chinese Herbal Therapy is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to increase faster healing time. This therapy does not have to be used for every patient or in order for acupuncture to be effective. This option is available to be incorporated into your acupuncture treatments if you desire.
