Chinese Herbal medicine:
Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) is backed by a 5000 year proven history. Since the 2nd millennium BCE, CHM has been continuously developed. Today, it is the second most used medicine in the world - being used in over 200 countries. Traditional products have stood the test of time and continue to deliver sound health care. Today, extensive research supports its historical value.
CHM’s effectiveness lies in the use of carefully designed formulas with combinations of herbs rather than single herbs.Chinese herbal formulas are prescriptions proven over time that treat the whole pattern of a disease.
It is the use of herbal formulas that makes Chinese Medicine so effective with chronic disorders. For instance, if you suffer from arthritis, you may be aware of the pain, the lack of mobility and maybe the deterioration of the digestive system. However, arthritis cannot be treated effectively by just analgesics. It is the sub-patterns that are responsible for the symptoms in the first place. Hence, it is by treating the surface symptoms and sub-surface patterns (underlying conditions) that chronic diseases can be effectively cured with Chinese herbs.
