Herbs

Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the great herbal systems of the world, with an unbroken tradition going back to the 3rd century BC.  It recognises that health is more than just the absence of disease, and it has a unique ability to maintain and enhance our well-being and happiness.

Herbal medicine is distinct from the medicine based on pharmaceutical drugs.  Because of the complexity of plant materials, it is far more balanced and is far less likely to cause side effects.  It seeks primarily to correct internal imbalances rather than to treat symptoms alone, and therapeutic intervention is designed to encourage this self-healing process. Nowadays, the herbal medicine still forms a major part of healthcare provision in China, and is offered in state hospitals alongside western medicine.
