Hundreds
of Chinese herbs including their flower, leaves, seeds and roots have
been widely used for thousands of years by the Chinese. The clinical
use of Chinese herbs has been well studied over many years. A Chinese
herbal preparation is made up of various herbs which work together
to restore the natural balance of the body within. Medicine is usually
taken internally but may occasionally be used externally.
Chinese herbal medicines and acupuncture are the two major components
of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The earliest classic book on
TCM was compiled around 700BC and TCM is now practised throughout
the world. In TCM the human body is seen as a functionally integrated
system. A symptom in one part of the body will be related to imbalances
in another, for example, a skin rash or discolouration may reflect
a deep imbalance within the body. The holistic principles of TCM looks
beyond presenting conditions of the patient, evaluates the causes
of illnesses and allows treatment of the bodys underlying imbalance.
Extensive research and practice have shown that Chinese herbs and
acupuncture are effective treatment of many conditions including:-
Skin disorders - Eczema, Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Acne rosacea.
Painful conditions Trigeminal neuralgia, neck pain, cervical
spondylosis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, back pain, sciatica, sporty
injuries, arthritis, rheumatism.
Infertility, menopause syndrome, indigestion, sinusitis, depression,
migraine, hypertension, asthma, hayfever, weight problems, stopping
smoking, rehabilitation e.g. after a stroke. |
