CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

Chinese herbal medicine has a written history over 2,500 years old. It is based on a knowledge of hundreds of natural substances and how they can be combined to restore our well-being. 

Chinese herbal medicine is not just made from natural substances, it is based on an older knowledge and philosophy of nature that always looks at the bigger, holistic picture. Chinese herbal medicine acknowledges our bodies continual movement towards homeostasis. It uses herbs to assist in recalibrating fluid metabolism, temperature regulation, organ function, immune function and blood circulation. With the aim to resolve specific problems for individuals.

How is it taken?

The formula is provided in a granule form, which is taken as a tea - just add hot water. 

Prescriptions are usually made on the premises. Formulas are mixed from between 5-15 herbs, on a case by case basis.

When appropriate, herbal medicine can also be provided as pills, capsules and tinctures.

what is the quality?

This clinic sources highest quality herbs processed in Taiwan. The agricultural standards are stringent and all herbs are tested for pesticides, sulfur dioxide, heavy metals and other contaminants. The extraction technology continues to innovate and improve.

is it ethical?

In this clinic, generally no animal products are used. Some formula may contain products with shells or bones, and other vegetable herbs prepared with honey or beeswax. If this is not your preference, please discuss this at the time of your consult.

While animal products have been found effective in Chinese Medicine, where we can, we try to produce the same results with vegetable and mineral substances. 

For your confidence in Chinese Medicine as a whole, it should be noted that endangered substances and CITES listed products (herbal, animal or insect) are prohibited for use in Australia.
