Chinese herbal medicine is possibly the oldest form of Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) and encompasses the majority of TCM
practiced in China today. Linda had first-hand experience with
the use of Chinese herbs at the Chengdu University of Traditional
Chinese Medicine Hospital in the departments of Dermatology,
Gynecology, Oncology, Cardiology and Internal Medicine. As
prescribed by our Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist, Chinese
herbs are proven safe and effective, backed by thousands of years
of use as well as extensive modern research.
Chinese Herbs for a Modern World
Herbs are nature’s gift of health. Most modern drugs are based
on herbal constituents, but are synthetically manufactured in a lab. Herbs function primarily as a complex blend
of constituents that synergistically interact with the human body. The result is a natural, more hospitable approach
to balancing the energy of the body. This means less side effects and risk to you.
Only the Best
At Balancing Point Acupuncture we use only the finest quality herbal extracts. Cheaper formulations are
available, but none are more regulated or safer than our formulas. Custom extracts, using herbal granules may be
recommended. These are made into a tea by mixing with warm
water. Patent herbal formulas may be prescribed using a pill form,
which is very convenient and effective.
Chinese herbs are used synergistically with Acupuncture to treat
imbalances. The combination can improve the effectiveness of
the treatment and bring faster, more lasting results.
