Chinese Herbal Medicine

Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is one of the oldest forms of internal medicine (the treatment of organ related conditions, for example, digestive or respiratory problems) in the world, with over 2000 years of documented use and development right up to the cutting edge modern research which is carried out today.  It uses plants and other substances such as resins & minerals (NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS) to heal and bring harmony to the body and mind.

Treatments consist of a prescription of a herbal formula which is tailored to a particular condition. Formulas, which typically consist of several herbs (usually 6-15) act together to restore balance to the body.

One of the main strengths of Chinese herbal medicine is the synergy of these combinations which have been shown to exert a stronger effect than single herbs taken alone.

Chinese herbs are prescribed in 2 ways in our clinic. Firstly, raw herb prescriptions which are boiled in water and the resulting tea is drunk. Secondly, pharmaceutical grade concentrated herbal granules which can be made up easily by simply adding hot water, this method is less time consuming and so more convenient for today’s busy lifestyles.

The pricing for a consultation is the same as other services. Click here for pricing.

The herbs themselves cost approximately £2.50 per day.
